Precautions to ensure that the camera is used
safely. Read these precautions thoroughly. Make
sure all details are observed in order to prevent
risks and injury to the user and other people.
Warning Details pertaining to risks that may
result in death or serious injury.
 Do not look at the sun or a bright light source
through the lens. Doing so could result in vision loss
or blindness.
 Whether it is attached to the camera or not, do
not leave the lens under the sun without the
lens cap attached. This is to prevent the lens from
concentrating the sun’s rays, which could cause a re.
Caution Details pertaining to risks that may
result in injury.
 Do not hold the Macro Lites located on the front
of the lens close to the eyes or stare at them when
they are illuminated. Doing so may result in eye
damage.
 Do not leave the camera in locations subject to
high or low temperatures. This may result in the
camera becoming excessively hot or cold, which may
cause burns or other injuries when touched.
Caution Details pertaining to risks that may
result in damage to property.
 Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in a
car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the
lens to malfunction.
Safety Precautions

ENG-3
General Precautions
Handling Precautions
 If the lens is taken from a cold environment into a
warm one, condensation may develop on the lens
surface and internal parts. To prevent condensation in
this case, rst put the lens into an airtight plastic bag
before taking it from a cold to warm environment. Then
take out the lens after it has warmed gradually. Do the
same when taking the lens from a warm environment
into a cold one.
 Please also read any lens related handling precautions
listed in your camera’s instruction manual.
Shooting Precautions
 Note that there are cases in which the white ring on
the front of the lens may be reected into photographs
if the lens is held close to reective objects (glass
surface on wristwatches, for example), even if the
Macro Lites are not illuminated. This can be avoided by
attaching the hood when taking photographs.

See your camera’s instructions for details on
mounting and detaching the lens.
 After detaching the lens, place the lens with

ENG-7
<Shooting Preparations>
Set the mode selection ring to the normal mode or the super macro mode when taking photographs.
Shooting Preparations and Retracting Lens

Normal Mode
The normal mode enables innite distance
photography through to close-up (macro)
photography.
To prepare for this, press the lock release switch
in the ▲ direction with the lens retracted, rotate
the mode selection ring and align the normal
mode index with the mode selection index.
Super Macro Mode
The super macro mode is only used for close-up
(macro) photography at a distance of between
11cm and 9.3cm and with a magnication ratio of
between 0.7x and 1.2x.
To prepare for this, press the lock release switch
in the ▲ direction, rotate the mode selection ring
and align the super macro mode index with the
mode selection index.

ENG-8
<Retracting Lens>
The lens can be retracted.
To retract the lens, press the lock release switch
in the ▲ direction, rotate the mode selection ring
and align the retraction location index with the
mode selection index.
Shooting Preparations and Retracting Lens
 It is only possible to start shooting videos or
shoot still photographs if the mode selection ring
is set at the normal mode or super macro mode.
 Video lming will be terminated once the mode
selection ring is rotated from the normal mode
towards the retracted position during lming.
 A warning will be displayed on the camera’s
LCD monitor if lming is not possible due to the
position of the mode selection ring.
 Do not attempt to forcibly rotate the mode
selection ring when it is locked. Doing so may
result in damage to the lock release mechanism.

ENG-9
 The magnication ratio represents the ratio
between the actual size of the subject and the
size of the image.
 The distance range represents the distance
between the mark (image mark) on the
camera and the subject.
 The minimum distance range from the front of
the lens to the subject (working distance) is
1.8cm in the normal mode and 1.3cm in the
super macro mode. When the camera’s focus mode is set to [MF],
focus manually by turning the focusing ring.
Quickly rotating the focusing ring may result in
delayed focus.
 Focus mode is set using the camera. Please
refer to the camera’s instructions.
 After autofocusing in [AF+MF] mode, focus
manually by pressing the shutter button halfway
and turning the focusing ring (full-time manual
focusing).
