Precautions

Lens care

• Do not subject to strong vibration, shock, or pressure. These may cause malfunction or damage.
• Don't press hard on the lens.
• Take care not to drop or bump the lens when carrying it.
• When carrying the digital camera with the lens attached, hold both the lens and the digital camera to carry them.
• Take care not to drop or bump the bag in which you have put the lens.
• When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.) on the surface of the lens, the images may be affected. Lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a soft, dry cloth before and after recording.
• When the lens is not in use, be sure to attach the lens cap and lens rear cap to prevent dust and other particles from accumulating on or entering the lens. To protect the lens contact points (A), do not do the following. These may cause malfunction.
• Touch the lens contact points.
• Allow the lens contact points to become dirty.
• Place the lens with its mount surface facing down.

Dust and splash resistant

• The dust and splash resistant of the camera will not prevent the entry of dust or water droplets completely. Take the following precautions to provide satisfactory dust and splash resistant performance. If the lens is not working properly, consult the dealer or your nearest Service Center.
• Attach to attach a digital camera that is dust and splash resistant.
• When attaching or removing the lens, be careful so that foreign objects such as sand, dust, and water droplets do not adhere to or enter the lens mount rubber, contact points, digital camera and lens.
• If the lens is exposed to water droplets or other liquids, wipe them off with a soft, dry cloth.
• To improve the dust and splash resistant performance of the lens, a lens mount rubber is used in the mount.
• The lens mount rubber will leave scuff marks on the digital camera mount, but this does not impact performance.
• For information on changing the lens mount rubber, contact your nearest Service Center.

Condensation (when the lens is fogged up)

• Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes. Please be careful, as it may cause lens stains, mold and malfunction.
• If condensation occurs, turn off the digital camera and leave it for approx. 2 hours. The fog will disappear naturally when the temperature of the digital camera becomes close to the ambient temperature.
