Symbol of a trash bin crossed with a diagonal line and a horizontal bar below (no text or numbers present)

This symbol on the products, packaging, and/or accompanying documents means that used electrical and electronic products must not be mixed with general household waste.

For proper treatment, recovery and recycling of old products, please take them to applicable collection points in accordance with your national legislation.

By disposing of them correctly, you will help to save valuable resources and prevent any potential negative effects on human health and the environment.

For more information about collection and recycling, please contact your local authority.

Penalties may be applicable for incorrect disposal of this waste, in accordance with national legislation.

Precautions

Lens Care

• 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.
• 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 ①, do not place the lens with its mount surface facing down. In addition, do not allow the lens contact points to become dirty.

■ 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 Centre.

• Attach to 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 Centre.

■ About Condensation (Fogging of the Lens)

• Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes. Please be careful, as it may cause lens stains, mould 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.

Note

• There may be differences in focus when you use zoom after focusing. Focus again.

• If the sounds of AF (auto focus) operation and image stabiliser operation bother you during video recording, it is recommended to record as follows:

• Set to MF (manual focus) to record.

• Set the O.I.S. switch to [OFF] and use a tripod to record.

Attaching/Detaching the Lens

• Refer also to the camera's operating instructions for attaching and detaching the lens.
• Check that the camera is turned off.
• Remove the lens rear cap from the lens.

■ Attaching the Lens

Align the lens fitting marks Ⓐ on the camera body and the lens and then rotate the lens in the direction of the arrow until it clicks.

• Do not press the lens release button Ⓑ when you attach a lens.
• Do not try to attach the lens when holding it at an angle to the camera body as the lens mount may get scratched.
• Check that the lens is attached correctly.
• Be sure to remove the lens cap when recording.

Detaching the Lens

While pressing on the lens release button Ⓑ, rotate the lens toward the arrow until it stops and then remove.

• Attach the lens rear cap so that the lens contact point does not get scratched.
• Be sure to attach the body cap to the digital camera to prevent dirt and dust from getting inside the camera body.

■ Attaching the Lens Hood (Supplied Accessory)

Hold the lens hood with your fingers placed as shown in the picture.

- Do not hold the lens hood in a way that twists or bends it.

1 Align the fitting mark © on the shorter petal of the lens hood with the mark on the tip of the lens.

■ Temporarily Storing the Lens Hood

1 Turn the lens hood in the direction of the arrow to detach it.

2 Reverse the lens hood and then attach it in the same way as shown previously.

Note

• When taking pictures with the flash with the lens hood attached, the lower portion of the screen may turn dark 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.
• When using the AF assist lamp in the dark, detach the lens hood.
• To prevent dropping of the lens, you should never carry the lens by just holding the lens hood.

■ Notes on Filter Use

• It is possible to attach the lens cap or the lens hood with the filter already attached.
• If you use two or more filters at the same time, part of a recorded image may darken.
• It is not possible to attach any items other than filters such as a conversion lens or adaptor to the front of the lens and use it in combination with this lens. Lens damage may result if such items are attached.

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 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 carry by the lens when the lens is attached to the digital camera.

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 mould, 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-free 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.

Troubleshooting

A rattling sound, etc. is heard when the digital camera is turned on or off or the lens is shaken.

- This is the sound of the lens moving and aperture operation. It is not a malfunction.
