∫Lens Care
≥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.
≥
When the lens is not in use, be sure to attach the
lens cap and lens rear cap to prevent dust and other
particles from accumulating on or entering the lens.
≥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.
∫Dust and splash resistant
≥The dust and splash resistant of the camera
will not prevent the entry of dust or water
droplets completely. Take the following
precautions to provide satisfactory dust and
splash resistant performance. If the lens is not
working properly, consult the dealer or your
nearest Service Center.
–Attach to a digital camera that is dust and
splash resistant.
– When attaching or removing the lens, be careful so
that foreign objects such as sand, dust, and water
droplets do not adhere to or enter the lens mount
rubber, contact points, digital camera and lens.
–If the lens is exposed to water droplets or other
liquids, wipe them off with a soft, dry cloth.
≥To improve the dust and splash resistant
performance of the lens, a lens mount rubber is
used in the mount.
–The lens mount rubber will leave scuff marks on
the digital camera mount, but this does not
impact performance.
–For information on changing the lens mount
rubber, contact your nearest Service Center.
∫About Condensation (Fogging of the
Lens)
≥Condensation occurs when the ambient
temperature or humidity changes. Please be
careful, as it may cause lens stains, mold and
malfunction.
≥If condensation occurs, turn off the digital camera
and leave it for approx. 2 hours. The fog will
disappear naturally when the temperature of the
digital camera becomes close to the ambient
temperature.

direction of the arrow to
detach it.

and then attach it in the
same way as shown
previously.
Note
≥When taking pictures with the flash with the lens
hood attached, the lower portion of the screen
may turn dark 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.
≥To prevent dropping of the lens, you should never
carry the lens by just holding the lens hood.
∫Notes on Filter Use
≥It is possible to attach the lens cap or the lens
hood with the filter already attached.
≥If you use two or more filters at the same time,
part of a recorded image may darken.
≥It is not possible to attach any items other than
filters such as a conversion lens or adaptor to the
front of the lens and use it in combination with this
lens. Lens damage may result if such items are
attached.

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 carry by the lens when the lens is
attached to the digital camera.
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 owner’s manual 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-free cloth to remove dirt and dust on
the lens mount rubber, zoom ring, or focus ring.
≥Do not use a household detergent or a chemically
treated cloth.
A rattling sound, etc. is heard when the digital
camera is turned on or off or the lens is shaken.
≥This is the sound of the lens moving and aperture
operation. It is not a malfunction.
