Precautions for Use
Precautions for Use
• Be sure to support the lens when holding the camera. Failure to ob-
serve this precaution could damage the camera lens mount.
• Do not pick up or hold the lens by its telescoping section.
• Do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the lens hood.
• Keep the CPU contacts clean.
• When using a tripod with a large pan head, be
careful when rotating the focus ring to avoid
injury caused by your fingers getting caught
between the ring and the pan head.
• Should the rubber lens-mount gasket be damaged, cease use immedi-
ately and take the lens to a Nikon-authorized service center for repair.
• Replace the front and rear lens caps when the lens is not in use.
• To protect the interior of the lens, store it out of direct sunlight.
• Do not leave the lens in humid locations or in locations in which it may
be exposed to moisture. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause
irreparable damage.
• Do not leave the lens next to open flames or in other extremely hot
locations. Extreme heat could damage or warp exterior parts made
from reinforced plastic.
• Rapid changes in temperature may cause damaging condensation in-
side and outside the lens. Before taking the lens from a warm to a cold
environment or vice versa, place it in a bag or plastic case to slow the
change in temperature.
• Remove the lens from the camera and place it in the supplied case
for transport.

Lens Care
Lens Care
• Removing dust is normally sufficient to clean the glass surfaces of the lens.
• The uorine-coated front lens element can be cleaned as described below.
-Smudges, fingerprints, and other oily stains can be removed using a
soft, clean cotton cloth or lens cleaning tissue; clean from the center
outwards using a circular motion.
-To remove stubborn stains, wipe gently using a soft cloth lightly
dampened with a small amount of distilled water, ethanol, or lens
cleaner.
-Any drop-shaped marks left from this process on the water- and oil-
repellent surface can subsequently be removed with a dry cloth.
• When cleaning the rear lens element, which is not uorine-coated, remove
smudges, fingerprints, and other oily stains using a soft, clean cotton
cloth or lens cleaning tissue lightly dampened with a small amount
of ethanol or lens cleaner. Wipe gently from the center outwards in a
circular motion, taking care not to leave smears or touch the lens with
your fingers.
• Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean
the lens.
• Neutral Color (NC) filters (available separately) and the like can be used
to protect the front lens element. Remove the lens hood before at-
taching or removing filters.
• If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool,
dry location to prevent mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight
or with naphtha or camphor moth balls.

DUsing theTrunk Case
• Nikon assumes no liability in the event that damage to the case results in damage to its
contents.
• When storing the trunk case, close the
latch safetylocks. Conrm that the latches
are securely closed as shown in the illus-
tration.
• Do not leave the case for long periods in humid locations or in direct sunlight. Prolonged
exposure to damp or direct sunlight could cause the inner padding to harden or fade.
• Do not store the case in locations exposed to extreme temperatures. Failure to observe this
precaution could cause the inner padding to warp, shrink, or peel.
• Avoid directly touching the case after it has been exposed to extreme temperatures. Failure
to observe this precaution could result in burns, low-temperature burns, or frostbite.
• Do not sit or place heavy objects on the case.
• Keep the case and its accessories out of reach of small children.
• Keep your hands clear of moving parts when opening or closing the case.
• Do not leave the case in unstable locations or locations where it is likely to fall.
• Never use organic solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the case.
• Do not scratch or rub the surface of the case with hard objects.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the case.
• The pressure equalization valve does not rotate. Applying ex-
cessive force to the valve could cause injury or damage the
product.
• Do not drop the case, handle it with excessive force, or sub-
ject it to violent physical shocks or vibration.
