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 infinity.
• The lens hood or the lens barrel may block the light from the flash. 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 specifications. This is not an indication of an error.
• Do not touch the lens-camera interface contacts ⑫ with your fingers. 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.
