∫Lens Care
≥Sand and dust can damage the lens. Make
sure that no sand or dust gets inside the lens
or the terminals when using the lens on a
beach, etc.
≥The lens is neither waterproof nor splash-
proof. If drops of water get onto the lens, wipe
the lens with a dry cloth.
≥Do not press the lens with excessive force.
≥When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.)
on the surface of the lens, the picture may be
affected. Lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a
soft, dry cloth before and after taking pictures.
≥Do not place the lens mount facing downwards.
Do not allow the lens contact points 1to become
dirty.
∫About Condensation (Fogging of the
Lens)
≥Condensation occurs when there are differences
in temperature and humidity as described below.
Condensation can cause the lens to become dirty
and lead to mold and malfunctioning, so exercise
caution in the following situations:
– When the camera is brought indoors from outside
during cold weather
– When the camera is brought into an air-
conditioned car
– When cold air from an air conditioner is directly
blown onto the lens
– In humid places
≥Put the camera into a plastic bag to allow it to
acclimatize to the surrounding temperature in
order to prevent condensation. If condensation
occurs, turn the power off and leave it for about
two hours. Once the camera acclimatizes to the
surrounding temperature the condensation will go
away naturally.

∫Attaching Filters
≥Vignetting may occur if using 2 or more
MC protectors (optional: DMW-LMC46),
PL filters (optional: DMW-LPL46) or ND filters
(optional: DMW-LND46), or if using thick
protectors and/or filters.
≥The filter may become impossible to remove if
excessively tightened, so please refrain from
tightening it too strongly.
≥It is possible to attach the lens cap with the filter
already attached.
∫Conversion lens
≥We recommend that you use a conversion lens
that is compatible with this unit.
– Wide conversion lens (optional: DMW-GWC1)
– Macro conversion lens (optional: DMW-GMC1)
– Fish eye conversion lens (optional: DMW-GFC1)
≥Use of a non-compatible conversion lens or
adaptor may result in breakage or damage to the

the relevant conversion lenses.
Cautions for Use
Take care not to drop or knock the lens. Also
take care not to put a lot of pressure on the lens.
≥Take care not to drop the bag that you inserted the
lens in as it may strongly shock the lens. The
camera may stop operating normally and pictures
may no longer be recorded. Also, the lens may be
damaged.
When using pesticides and other volatile
substances around the camera make sure that
they do not get onto the lens.
≥If such substances get onto the lens they can
damage the exterior case or cause the paint to
peel.
Do not point the lens at the sun or other strong
light sources.
≥This could cause the lens to collect an excessive
amount of light, resulting in fire and malfunction.
Do not carry the unit when it is still attached to
the camera body.
≥Under no circumstances should the unit be stored
in any of the following locations since doing so
may cause problems in operation or
malfunctioning.
