Precautions for Use Precautions for Use

• Be sure to support the lens when holding the camera. Failure to ob- serve this precaution could damage the camera lens mount.

• Do not pick up or hold the lens by its telescoping section.

• Do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the lens hood.

• Keep the CPU contacts clean.

• When using a tripod with a large pan head, be careful when rotating the focus ring to avoid injury caused by your fi ngers getting caught between the ring and the pan head.

• Should the rubber lens-mount gasket be damaged, cease use immedi- ately and take the lens to a Nikon-authorized service center for repair.

• Replace the front and rear lens caps when the lens is not in use.

• To protect the interior of the lens, store it out of direct sunlight.

• Do not leave the lens in humid locations or in locations in which it may be exposed to moisture. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage.

• Do not leave the lens next to open fl ames or in other extremely hot locations. Extreme heat could damage or warp exterior parts made from reinforced plastic.

• Rapid changes in temperature may cause damaging condensation in- side and outside the lens. Before taking the lens from a warm to a cold environment or vice versa, place it in a bag or plastic case to slow the change in temperature.

• Remove the lens from the camera and place it in the supplied case for transport.41

• Removing dust is normally suffi cient to clean the glass surfaces of the lens.

• The uorine-coated front lens element can be cleaned as described below. - Smudges, fi ngerprints, and other oily stains can be removed using a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens cleaning tissue; clean from the center outwards using a circular motion. - To remove stubborn stains, wipe gently using a soft cloth lightly dampened with a small amount of distilled water, ethanol, or lens cleaner. - Any drop-shaped marks left from this process on the water- and oil- repellent surface can subsequently be removed with a dry cloth.

• When cleaning the rear lens element, which is not uorine-coated, remove smudges, fi ngerprints, and other oily stains using a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens cleaning tissue lightly dampened with a small amount of ethanol or lens cleaner. Wipe gently from the center outwards in a circular motion, taking care not to leave smears or touch the lens with your fi ngers.

• Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the lens.

• Neutral Color (NC) fi lters (available separately) and the like can be used to protect the front lens element. Remove the lens hood before at- taching or removing fi lters.

• If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry location to prevent mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight or with naphtha or camphor moth balls.42
