• 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.

– 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.

– When using the built-in slide lens hood, ensure that particles such as sand and dust do not stick to the lens barrel, where the built-in slide lens hood slides.

– 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. • 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.

– Please attach the lens to a dust-proof and splash-proof digital camera.

• 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.

Lens Hood Lens Cap Lens Rear Cap External tripod mount

• The lens rear cap and lens cap are attached to the interchangeable lens at the time of purchase.

• If you zoom after focusing, focusing errors may occur. After zooming, please perform the focusing again. • In very quiet situations Auto Focus operating sounds may be recorded during motion picture recording. This is not a malfunction. In such situations, switching to Manual Focus will improve the situation. • If you set the O.I.S. to [ON] when recording a motion picture, operating sounds may be recorded. If they become bothersome, we recommend setting the O.I.S. switch to [OFF] and mounting the camera on a tripod.

Attaching/Detaching the Lens

For information on how to attach and remove the lens, refer to the operating instructions for your digital camera. • Before attaching or detaching the lens, check that the digital camera is turned off. • Before attaching the lens to the digital camera, remove the lens rear cap. (1, 2)

• After detaching the lens from the digital camera, be sure to attach the lens cap/lens rear cap.

• Vignetting may occur if using 2 or more filters at the same time.

• It is possible to attach the lens cap or the supplied lens hood with the filter already attached. • You cannot attach a conversion lens or adaptor to this lens. A filter may be used, but attaching any other element may cause damage to the lens.

Using the Lens Hoods

The lens comes with a built-in slide lens hood and supplied lens hood. With the latter, you can block extra light even more effectively. • The built-in slide lens hood and supplied lens hood can be used together at the same time. • To use the built-in slide lens hood, slide it in the direction of the arrow. We recommend locking the zoom ring with the zoom lock ring before performing operations.

∫ Attaching the Lens Hood (Supplied Accessory)

1 Rotate the lens hood screw in the direction of the arrow to loosen it (1). 2 Insert the lens hood until it stops(2). 3 Rotate the lens hood screw in the direction of the arrow to fasten the lens hood securely (3).

• When using the lens with the supplied lens hood, check if the lens hood screw has become loose. • If you use a lens hood and the flash at the same time, the lens hood will block the light from the flash, causing the lower portion of the screen to darken (vignetting) and making it impossible to adjust the amount of light. We recommend not using the lens hoods and flash at the same time. • When carrying, the supplied lens hood can be temporarily attached in the reverse direction.

• Do not carry the lens by holding only the built-in slide lens hood or the supplied lens hood.

Using the Tripod Mount

Attach a tripod to the tripod mount of the lens and not to that of the digital camera. If the lens or digital camera prevents the tripod from being attached, attach the supplied external tripod mount to the lens. • When a battery grip (DMW-BGGH3) is in use, for example, it will come in contact with the head of your tripod, preventing the tripod from being attached. In this case, attach the supplied external tripod mount to the lens. • An interface unit (DMW-YAGH/AG-YAGH) will also prevent a tripod from being attached even if you use the external tripod mount. In this case, attach your tripod to the appropriate tripod hole on the interface unit.

• Check that the external tripod mount attachment screw is not loose before use.

∫ Changing the vertical/horizontal orientation

You can loosen the orientation locking knob (1) to rotate the lens together with the digital camera (2).

This way, you can quickly switch between the vertical and horizontal orientation while the tripod is in use.

∫ Attaching the external tripod mount (supplied)

1 Insert the external tripod mount attachment

screw (1) into the tripod mount of the lens.

2 Rotate the external tripod mount attachment

screw in the direction of the arrows to fasten it firmly.

• After changing the orientation, tighten the orientation locking knob firmly and check that it is not loose.

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 operating instructions 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 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, zoom lock ring, focus ring, or built-in slide lens hood. • Do not use a household detergent or a chemically treated cloth.

When I turn on or off the camera or when I shake the lens, I hear a sound, for example a rattling sound. • This is the sound of lens or aperture movement and is not a malfunction.
