Precautions
∫Handling of the lens
0When using this lens, take care not to drop, bump,
or apply undue force to it. Doing so may cause
malfunction or damage to this lens and the digital
camera.
0Images may be affected by dust, dirt, and soiling
(water, oil, fingerprints, etc.) on the lens surface. Before
and after recording, use a blower to blow off dust and
dirt from the surface of the lens, then lightly wipe with a
soft dry cloth to remove soiling.
0When 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.
0To protect the lens contact
points (A), do not do the
following. These may
cause malfunction.
– Touch the lens contact
points.
– Allow the lens contact
points to become dirty.
– Place the lens with its
mount surface facing
down.
∫Dust and splash resistant
0 Splash Resistant and Dust Resistant are terms used to
describe an extra level of protection this lens offers
against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture,
water or dust. These terms do not guarantee that
damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct
contact with water or dust infiltration.
Take the following precautions to provide satisfactory
dust and splash resistant performance. If the lens is
not working properly, consult the dealer or Panasonic.

– 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.
0To 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 Panasonic.
∫Condensation (when the lens is fogged up)
0Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or
humidity changes. Please be careful, as it may cause
lens stains, mold and malfunction.
0If 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.
0The appearance and specifications of products
described in this document may differ from the actual
products you have purchased due to later

Cautions for Use
0Do not spray the lens with insecticides or volatile
chemicals.
– If such substances get onto the lens they can
damage the exterior case or cause the paint to peel.
0Do not point the lens at the sun or other strong
light sources.
– This may cause the lens to collect an excessive
amount of light, resulting in fire and malfunction.
0Do not use while directly touching the lens at low
temperatures for a long period of time.
– In cold places (environments below 0 oC (32 oF), such
as ski slopes), prolonged direct contact with the metal
parts of the lens may cause skin injury. Use gloves or
similar when using the lens for long periods.
0When cleaning, wipe lightly using a soft dry cloth
that does not produce dust.
– Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinners,
alcohol, kitchen cleansers, etc., as this can cause

0Do not keep products made of rubber, PVC or similar
materials in contact with the lens for a long period of
time.
0Do not disassemble or alter this product.

period, we recommend storing with a desiccant (silica gel).
0Check all the parts before recording when you have not
used the lens for a long period of time.
0Avoid using or storing the lens in any of the following
locations as this 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 severe changes in temperature and
humidity

– Where there is fire
– Near heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers

0Refer also to the operating instructions for the digital
camera.
Troubleshooting
