following. If the lens is not working properly, consult the
dealer or your nearest Service Center.
– Please attach the lens to a dust-proof and splash-
proof digital camera.
– When detaching the lens from the digital camera, take
care to ensure that sand, dust, splashes of water etc.,
do not get into the lens or the terminals.
– 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 Center.
• Do not press the lens with excessive force.
• When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.) on
the surface of the lens, the picture may be affected.
Lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a soft, dry cloth
before and after taking pictures.
• Do not place the lens mount facing downwards. Do not
allow the lens contact points 1 to become dirty.

About Condensation (Fogging of the Lens)
• Condensation occurs when there are differences in
temperature and humidity as described below.
Condensation can cause the lens to become dirty and
lead to mold and malfunctioning, so exercise caution in
the following situations:
– When the camera is brought indoors from outside
during cold weather
– When the camera is brought into an air-conditioned car
– When cold air from an air conditioner is directly blown
onto the lens
– In humid places
• If condensation occurs, turn the power off and leave it for about
two hours. Once the camera acclimatizes to the surrounding
temperature the condensation will go away naturally.
