1. Storage and mildew prevention
•
Take the lens out of the protective case or camera bag, and store it in a dry, well-ventilated place.
• Avoid storing the lens in a poorly ventilated location such as a closet, wardrobe, drawer, vehicle,
or where insect repellent or medicine is kept.
• Avoid storing the lens in areas of high temperature and humidity, where there is a risk of mildew
growth. Store the lens with a desiccant in a dry cabinet, airtight container, or plastic bag.
(Leaving a saturated desiccant in the storage container can cause damage to the lens. Be sure
to read the instructions that come with the desiccant before use.)
2.
The lens is not waterproof. When using the lens in a rain or mist, be careful not to allow it to get wet.
3. Never use any organic solvent such as thinner, alcohol, or benzine, etc. to remove dust on the lens.
4. The lens is a precise optical instrument. Be careful not to let it fall, or subject it to strong shocks or
pressure. Use a cushion or similar pad to protect the lens from the vibrations of motorcycles or other
vehicles, boats, etc.
5. Avoid subjecting the lens to rapid changes in temperature, otherwise condensation can occur on
both the inside and the outside of the lens. Put the lens in a plastic bag or camera bag, and take it
out after the lens has reached ambient temperature.
6. When the lens is not attached to the camera body, attach both the supplied lens cap and lens
mountcap to protect it from dust.
7. Do not leave the camera with the lens cap off attached to a tripod or other rigid camera support.
The inner parts of the camera can be damaged by direct sunlight.
8. Have the lens inspected by a dealer every one or two years to maintain its high performance.

Precautions on close-distance scale
(For Schneider D-XENON 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6 AL, SAMSUNG 16-45mm F/4 ED AL)
In the close-distance scale range, when shooting at the maximum aperture, image quality
deterioration in the corners of picture may occur because of the optical characteristics of
the lens.
When taking a picture in this range, we recommend that you use a smaller aperture with
stopping down from wide open.(When using the SAMSUNG 16-45mm lens, the aperture
value is fixed as F4.)

Zoom Ring
The zoom lens has a focusing ring at the front and a zoom ring behind it.
Turn the zoom ring to set the desired angle of view (lens focal length).
About the zoom ring
Turn the zoom ring clockwise for telephoto and counterclockwise for wide-angle.
2. Memo:
•The focusing point may shift slightly by changing the focal length. First adjust the zoom
and then adjust focus.

In order to avoid the deterioration in image quality from internal reflection, use of the lens
hood is recommended.
ATTACHING THE LENS HOOD
When attaching the lens hood, align the index on the lens hood with the attaching index on
the lens, and push both parts straight toward each other. Attach the lens hood on the lens
by turning the hood in the clockwise direction to lock it as viewed from the front of the lens
until it clicks into position.
2. Memo:
•When attaching the lens hood, hold the focus ring and zoom ring securely to prevent
them from turning.

Make sure the filter size matches the lens and then attach the filter onto the lens.
FILTERS
2. Memo:
•The compatible filter sizes for all the lenses are listed on pages 20.
2. Precaution on filters
•Since the filter becomes a part of the optics when attached on the lens, handle it in the
same way you handle the lens with care to dust, dirt and scratches. Normally, attaching
two or more filters on a lens is not recommended. However, attaching a circular
polarizing filter and another filter would not be a problem.
•Use a circular polarizing filter with Autofocus camera for proper exposure and
autofocusing.
•According to the filter manufacturer, some circular polarizing filter can't be attached on
this lens hood.
•Do not use filters at the same time. It may cause a decrease in image quality and
vignetting.
•If you use a wide angle lens and the filter frame is thick, the vignetting may happen.
