Lens Care
• 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 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.
• To prevent dust and other particles from accumulating on
or entering the lens, attach the lens rear cap when the lens
is not in use.
