Precautions

∫Lens Care
≥ This lens has a dust-proof and splash-proof
construction. When using it, please be careful of
the following.
If the lens is not working properly, consult the
dealer or your nearest Service Centre.
– Please attach the lens to a dust-proof and
splash-proof digital camera.
– Make sure that no sand, dust, drops of water,
etc., gets on or inside the lens mount rubber,
terminals, and inside the digital camera and lens
when attaching or detaching the lens.
– This lens is not waterproof and cannot be used to
record underwater. For splash-proofing, the lens
is constructed to resist the entry of water. If
splashes of water etc. do adhere to the lens, wipe
after use with a soft dry cloth.
≥ To improve the dust-proofing and splash-proofing
of this lens, a lens mount rubber is used in the
mounting portion. After changing the lens a
number of times, you may find that the lens mount
rubber has marked the mount portion of the digital
camera body, which does not affect its
performance.
For information on changing the lens mount
rubber, contact your nearest Service Centre.
