-If you see this symbol-
∫Lens Care
• This lens has a dust-proof and splash-proof construction.
When using it, please be careful of the following.
If the lens is not working properly, consult the dealer or
your nearest Service Centre.
– Please attach the lens to a dust-proof and
splash-proof digital camera.
– When detaching the lens from the digital camera,
take care to ensure that sand, dust, splashes of
water etc., do not get into the lens or the
terminals.
– When using the built-in slide lens hood, ensure that
particles such as sand and dust do not stick to the
lens barrel, where the built-in slide lens hood slides.
– This lens is not waterproof and cannot be used to
record underwater. For splash-proofing, the lens
is constructed to resist the entry of water. If
splashes of water etc. do adhere to the lens, wipe
after use with a soft dry cloth.
• To improve the dust-proofing and splash-proofing of this
lens, a lens mount rubber is used in the mounting portion.
After changing the lens a number of times, you may find
that the lens mount rubber has marked the mount portion
of the digital camera body, which does not affect its
performance.
For information on changing the lens mount rubber,
contact your nearest Service Centre.
• 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.

Precautions

SQT1200
• To prevent dust and other particles from accumulating on
or entering the lens, attach the lens rear cap when the lens
is not in use.
• To protect the lens contact points 1, do not place the lens
with its mount surface facing down. In addition, do not
allow the lens contact points to 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
• 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.

Note
• If you zoom after focusing, focusing errors may occur.
After zooming, please perform the focusing again.
• In very quiet situations Auto Focus operating sounds may
be recorded during motion picture recording. This is not a
malfunction. In such situations, switching to Manual Focus
will improve the situation.
• If you set the O.I.S. to [ON] when recording a motion
picture, operating sounds may be recorded. If they
become bothersome, we recommend setting the O.I.S.
switch to [OFF] and mounting the camera on a tripod.
Attaching/Detaching the Lens
For information on how to attach and remove the lens,
refer to the operating instructions for your digital
camera.
• Before attaching or detaching the lens, check that the
digital camera is turned off.
• Before attaching the lens to the digital camera, remove the
lens rear cap. (1, 2)
• To prevent dust and other particles from accumulating on
or entering the lens, be sure to attach the lens cap/lens
rear cap after detaching the lens from the digital camera.
∫Attaching Filters
• Vignetting may occur if using 2 or more filters at the same
time.
• It is possible to attach the lens cap or the supplied lens
hood with the filter already attached.
• You cannot attach a conversion lens or adaptor to this
lens. A filter may be used, but attaching any other element
may cause damage to the lens.
Using the Lens Hoods
The lens comes with a built-in slide lens hood and supplied
lens hood. With the latter, you can block extra light even
more effectively.
• The built-in slide lens hood and supplied lens hood can be
used together at the same time.
• To use the built-in slide lens
hood, slide it in the direction of
the arrow.
We recommend locking the
zoom ring with the zoom lock
ring before performing
operations.

∫ Attaching the Lens Hood (Supplied Accessory)
1 Rotate the lens hood screw in the
direction of the arrow to loosen it (1).
2 Insert the lens hood until it stops(2).
3 Rotate the lens hood screw in the
direction of the arrow to fasten the lens
hood securely (3).
Note
• When using the lens with the supplied lens hood, check if
the lens hood screw has become loose.
• If you use a lens hood and the flash at the same time, the
lens hood will block the light from the flash, causing the lower
portion of the screen to darken (vignetting) and making it
impossible to adjust the amount of light. We recommend not
using the lens hoods and flash at the same time.
• When carrying, the supplied lens
hood can be temporarily attached
in the reverse direction.
• Do not carry the lens
by holding only the
built-in slide lens
hood or the supplied
lens hood.

Using the Tripod Mount
Attach a tripod to the tripod
mount of the lens and not to
that of the digital camera.
If the lens or digital camera
prevents the tripod from being
attached, attach the supplied external tripod mount to the
lens.
• When a battery grip (DMW-BGGH3) is in use, for example,
it will come in contact with the head of your tripod,
preventing the tripod from being attached. In this case,
attach the supplied external tripod mount to the lens.
• An interface unit (DMW-YAGH/AG-YAGH) will also
prevent a tripod from being attached even if you use the
external tripod mount. In this case, attach your tripod to
the appropriate tripod hole on the interface unit.
∫Attaching the external tripod mount (supplied)
1Insert the external tripod mount attachment
screw (1) into the tripod mount of the lens.
2Rotate the external tripod mount attachment
screw in the direction of the arrows to fasten it
firmly.
• Check that the external tripod mount attachment screw is
not loose before use.
∫Changing the vertical/horizontal orientation
You can loosen the orientation locking knob (1) to rotate
the lens together with the digital camera (2).
This way, you can quickly switch between the vertical and
horizontal orientation while the tripod is in use.
• After changing the orientation, tighten the orientation
locking knob firmly and check that it is not loose.

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 carrying the digital camera with the lens attached,
hold both the digital camera and the lens.
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.
• Under no circumstances should the unit be stored in any
of the following locations since doing so may cause
problems in operation or malfunctioning.
– In direct sunlight or on a beach in summer
– In locations with high temperatures and humidity levels or
where the changes in temperature and humidity are acute
– In locations with high concentrations of sand, dust or dirt
– Where there is fire
– Near heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers
– Where water may make the unit wet
– Where there is vibration
– Inside a vehicle
• Refer also to the operating instructions of the digital
camera.
• When the unit is not going to be used for a prolonged
period, we recommend storing with a desiccant (silica gel).
Failure to do so may result in performance failure caused
by mold, etc. It is recommended that you check the unit’s
operation prior to use.
• Do not leave the lens in contact with rubber or plastic
products for extended periods of time.
• Do not touch the lens contact point. Doing so can cause
failure of the unit.
• Do not disassemble or alter the unit.
Do not use benzine, thinner, alcohol or other similar
cleaning agents to clean the lens glass or exterior
cabinet.
• Using solvents can damage the lens or cause the paint to peel.
• Wipe off any dust or fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth.
• Use a dry, dust cloth to remove dirt and dust on the lens
mount rubber, zoom ring, zoom lock ring, focus ring, or
built-in slide lens hood.
• Do not use a household detergent or a chemically treated
cloth.
When I turn on or off the camera or when I shake the
lens, I hear a sound, for example a rattling sound.
• This is the sound of lens or aperture movement and is not
a malfunction.
