∫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.

This lens uses a lens drive system to enable a
compact and bright F1.7. As a result of this, there
are operating sounds and vibrations when focusing,
but this is not a malfunction. Operating sounds are
recorded when auto-focusing during motion picture
recording. If operating sounds become bothersome,
we recommend setting to manual focus (
[MF] ) and
fixing focus before recording to avoid recording the
lens noise.

∫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.
≥The filter may become impossible to remove if
excessively tightened, so please refrain from
tightening it too strongly.
≥It is possible to attach the lens cap with the filter
already attached.
≥If you have problems with the attachment or
removal of the PL filter (optional:DMW-LPL46), we
recommend turning on the digital camera and
trying again with the focus mode set to “manual”
([MF]).
≥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.
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 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.

similar cleaning agents to clean the lens glass or
exterior cabinet.

the focus ring.
≥Do not use a household detergent or a chemically
treated cloth.
A sound is heard when the camera is turned on
or off.
A sound is heard from the lens when taking a
picture of a bright subject such as when
outdoors.
≥This is the sound of lens or aperture movement
and is not a malfunction.
