Benefits of USM and inner focus
Quiet, fast autofocus action.

Convenient for close-up situations.  When you want to photograph a small animal or an insect, it's important to get close quietly - without scaring the subject. Canon Macro Lenses with USM and inner focus let you photograph subjects with quiet, rapid autofocus.  You'll feel confident to approach many subjects that are sensitive to sound and motion in the big world around them.  You'll be able to get close and capture big, bold images of the small worlds!

Full time manual focus
Fine-tune the focus while in AF mode.

Useful at times like these!

Macro photography can only focus on a small area. The impression of a photograph changes dramatically by making a small shift in the point. Use autofocus, and then turn the focus ring. When you keep your attention on the viewfinder and fine-tune the focus, the difference in the finished photo will be immediatly apparent.

Useful info:  Magnification Ratio
This ratio expresses the relative size of the image, compared to the subject.

The larger the magnification ratio, the larger the subject appears.

The magnification ratio indicates the ratio of image size captured on sensor or film to the actual size of the subject. When using a magnification ratio of 1x, for example, the image captured on the sensor or film is the same size as the subject. The maximum magnification ratio represents the largest image size of a subject captured by the lens. The maximum magnification ratio for standard lens EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 II USM is 0.28x (at 55mm) while the maximum magnification the EF-S60mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens is 1x.
