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, smoke, 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.
• When shooting against the sun, keep the sun
completely out of the angle of view. Otherwise, solar
rays may be concentrated at a focal point inside
the camera, causing smoke or a fire. Keeping the
sun slightly out of the angle of view may also cause
smoke or a fire.
• This lens contains and comes with some small
components. Be sure to keep them out of reach
of small children to avoid accidental swallowing. If
swallowed, immediately seek medical advice.
• When carrying a camera with the lens attached,
always firmly hold both the camera and the lens.
• This lens is not water-proof, although designed with
dust-proofness and splash-proofness in mind. If using
in the rain etc., keep water drops away from the lens.
• AF illuminator of the camera may be blocked by the
lens. We recommend that you set the AF illuminator
to OFF.
• When recording movies, zoom operation sound may
be recorded depending on the camera or shooting
conditions. Use of an external microphone can help
reducing the zoom operation sound being recorded.
• When using the lens support bracket, secure the
camera with a tripod or an equivalent as well.
Vignetting
• When using the lens, the corners of the screen
become darker than the center. To reduce these
phenomena (called vignetting), close the aperture by
1 to 2 stops.
