Note

lower portion of the screen may turn dark (vignetting effect) and the
control of the flash may be disabled because the photo flash may be
obscured by the lens hood. We recommend detaching the lens hood.

Cautions for Use

Take care not to drop or knock the lens. Also take care
not to put a lot of pressure on the lens.
• Take care not to drop the bag that you inserted the lens in as it may
strongly shock the lens. The camera may stop operating normally and
pictures may no longer be recorded. Also, the lens may be damaged.
• When carrying the digital camera with the lens attached, hold both the
digital camera and the lens.
When using pesticides and other volatile substances around
the camera make sure that they do not get onto the lens.
• If such substances get onto the lens they can damage
the exterior case or cause the paint to peel.
Do not point the lens at the sun or other strong light sources.
• This could cause the lens to collect an excessive amount
of light, resulting in fire and malfunction.
• Under no circumstances should the unit be stored in any
of the following locations since doing so may cause
problems in operation or malfunctioning.
– In direct sunlight or on a beach in summer
– In locations with high temperatures and humidity levels or
where the changes in temperature and humidity are acute
– In locations with high concentrations of sand, dust or dirt
– Where there is fire
– Near heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers
– Where water may make the unit wet
– Where there is vibration
– Inside a vehicle
• Refer also to the owner's manual of the digital camera.
• When the unit is not going to be used for a prolonged period, we
recommend storing with a desiccant (silica gel). Failure to do so
may result in performance failure caused by mold, etc. It is
recommended that you check the unit's operation prior to use.
• Do not leave the lens in contact with rubber or plastic
products for extended periods of time.
• Do not touch the lens contact point. Doing so can cause
failure of the unit.
• Do not disassemble or alter the unit.
Do not use while directly touching the lens at low
temperatures for a long period of time.
• In cold places (environments below 0 oC (32 oF), such as
ski slopes), prolonged direct contact with the metal parts
of the lens may cause skin injury. Use gloves or similar
when using the lens for long periods.
Do not use benzine, thinner, alcohol or other similar
cleaning agents to clean the lens glass or exterior cabinet.
• Using solvents can damage the lens or cause the paint to peel.
• Wipe off any dust or fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth.
• Use a dry, dust cloth to remove dirt and dust on the lens
mount rubber, zoom ring, or focus ring.
• Do not use a household detergent or a chemically treated cloth.
