Caution
Never look at the sun through the lens. Serious damage to your eyes or
total loss of eyesight may occur.

passing through the lens will be intensified, and should it focus on
flammable materials, fire may occur.
Precautions When Using the Lens
II
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 place 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 (anti- mildew agent) in a dry cabinet, airtight
container, or plastic bag.
II
Precautions and lens maintenance
• Never use any organic solvent such as thinner, alcohol, or benzine, etc. to remove dust on
the lens.
• 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, automobiles, boats, etc.
• Avoid subjecting the lens to rapid changes in temperature, otherwise condensation can
occur on both inside and outside of the lens. Put the lens in a plastic bag or camera bag,
and take it out after the lens temperature reaches the ambient level.
• When the lens is not attached to the camera body, attach both the supplied lens cover and
lens mount cover to protect it from dust.
• Do not leave the camera with the lens cover off attached to a tripod or other rigid camera
support. The inner parts of the camera can be damaged by direct sunlight.
• Be careful not to damage or dirty the lens mount surface as this could result in failure or
malfunction.
• Have the lens inspected by a dealer every one or two years to maintain its performance.
