Safety 
Precautions 
e 
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 tens 
is 
especially hazardous. 
e 
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 fire. 
Handling Cautions 
e 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, first 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 
wa
rmed gradually. Do the 
same when taking the lens from a warm environment into a cold one. 
e 
Do not leave the lens 
in 
excessive heat such as 
in 
a car 
in 
direct sunlight. High 
tempe
r
atures 
can 
cause 
the 
lens 
to 
malfunction.

not the latest version, be s
ur
e to update to the latest firmware.
