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 Centre.
– 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 Centre.
• 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.
