∫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 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.

• 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.
• When using the AF assist lamp in the dark,
detach the lens hood.
∫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.

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 damage the lens. The camera
may stop operating normally and pictures may no
longer be recorded.
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 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.
– 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.

∫Atención del objetivo
≥La arena y el polvo pueden dañar el objetivo.
Cuando usa el objetivo en una playa, tenga
cuidado de que ni arena ni polvo entren en el
interior del objetivo o los terminales, etc.
≥Este objetivo no es impermeable. Si caen
gotas de agua en el objetivo, límpielo con un
paño seco.
≥No ejerce demasiada presión en el objetivo.
≥Cuando hay suciedad (agua, aceite, huellas
dactilares, etc.) en la superficie del objetivo, la
imagen puede salir afectada. Limpie ligeramente
con un paño blando y seco antes y después de
tomar las imágenes.
≥No meta el soporte del objetivo mirando hacia
abajo. No deje que se ensucien los punto de
contacto 1.
∫Acerca de la condensación
(Empañamiento del objetivo)
≥La condensación ocurre cuando se encuentra una
diferencia en la temperatura y humedad como se
describe abajo. La condensación puede hacer
ensuciar el objetivo y producir hongos y un
funcionamiento defectuoso, por lo tanto ponga
cuidado en las situaciones a continuación:
– Cuando lleva la cámara en casa desde el aire
libre durante un tiempo frío
– Cuando lleva la cámara dentro de un coche con
aire acondicionado
– Cuando sopla en el objetivo aire frío desde un
acondicionador de aire
– En lugares húmedos
≥Para impedir la condensación, meta la cámara en
una bolsa de plástico para que se aclimate a la
temperatura ambiente. Si ocurre condensación,
apague la alimentación y la deje así durante dos
horas. Una vez de que la cámara se haya
aclimatado a la temperatura ambiente en
empañamiento desaparece naturalmente.
