USAGE PRECAUTIONS
•
An internal focusing (IF) system is employed to reduce the minimum focus distance. The angle of
view may be wider than that of lenses with other focusing systems when shooting at a distance
less than innity.
•
The lens hood or the lens barrel may block the light from the ash. It is recommended to
perform trial shooting in advance.
•
Differences in the display systems of cameras may cause to show values different from the
maximum and minimum aperture values from the specications. This is not an indication of an
error.
•
Do not touch the lens-camera interface contacts ⑫ with your ngers. Otherwise, it may cause a
malfunction.
•
If the temperature changes suddenly, condensation may form and cause malfunctions.
•
The front lens is covered with stain-proof coating. After removing the dust on the lens surface
with a blower or another means, wipe it with a dry cloth.
•
Never use benzene, thinner, or other organic solvents to clean the lens.
•
Store the lens in a clean and well-ventilated place.
•
