•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.
• This lens
is not waterproof. 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

VQT3S51
• 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 indoorsfrom 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.
