∫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 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 point 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
acclimatise 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 acclimatises to the
surrounding temperature the condensation will go
away naturally.

≥When taking pictures with the flash with the lens
hood attached, the lower portion of the screen
may turn dark (vignetting effect) and the control of
the flash may be disabled because the photo flash
may be obscured by the lens hood. We
recommend detaching the lens hood.

the lens hood.
∫Attaching Filters

MC protectors (optional:DMW-LMC46),
PL filters (optional:DMW-LPL46) or ND filters
(optional:DMW-LND46), or if using thick
protectors and/or filters.
