Notes on use
• Do
not
leave the lens exposed to the sun
or
a bright light
source. Internal malfunction
of
the camera body and lens,
or
a fire may result due to the effect
of
light focusing.
If
circumstances necessitate leaving the lens in sunlight, be sure
to attach the lens caps.
•
Be
careful not to subject the lens/teleconverter to mechanical
shock while attaching it.
• Always place the lens caps
on
the lens/teleconverter when
storing.
• Do not keep the lens in a very humid place for a long period
of
time to prevent mold.
• Do not touch the lens contacts.
If
dirt, etc., gets on the lens
contacts, it may interfere
or
prevent the sending and receiving
of
signals between the lens and the camera, resulting in
operational malfunction.
Condensation
If
your lens
is
brought directly from a cold place to a warm
place, condensation may appear
on
the lens. To avoid this,
place the lens in a plastic bag
or
something similar.
When
the air temperature inside the bag reaches the surrounding
temperature, take the lens out.
Cleaning
the
lens
• Do not touch the surface
of
the lens directly.
•
If
the lens gets dirty, brush offdust with a lens blower
and wipe with a soft, clean cloth (Cleaning Cloth
is
recommended).
• Do not use any organic solvent, such
as
thinner
or
benzine, to
clean the lens
or
the camera cone.
