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
4

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.
