Warning to prevent lens or camera
malfunction or damage.
Supplementary notes
on using the lens
and taking pictures.

Lt. Safety Precautions
1. Do not look at the sun or a bright light source
through the lens or camera. Doing so could
result
in loss of vision. Looking at the sun directly
through the lens is especially hazardous.
2. 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
fi re.
Lt.Handling Cautions
If the lens is taken from acold environment into
awarm one, condensation may develop on the
lens surface and internal parts. To prevent
condensation
in this case, first put the lens into an
airtight plastic bag before taking it from acold to
warm environment. Then take out the lens after it
has warmed gradually.
Do the same when taking the
lens from awarm environment into acold one.

o@The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a
blurred shot caused by asubject that moved.
@Set the STABILIZER switch toOFFwhen you
are taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long
exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set
to0 N ,'the image stabilizer function may
introduce errors.
@The Image Stabilizer might not be fully effective
in the following cases:
•You move the camera for apanned shot.
•You shoot while riding
on abumpy road.
®Compared to using anormal non-IS lens, fewer
shots can be taken when you use an Image
Stabilizer lens because more power is
consumed.
@The image stabilizer operates for about two
seconds even when your finger is off the shutter
button. Do not remove the lens while the
stabilizer is
in operation. This will cause a
malfunction.
