LENS CARE
• Clean lens surface with a blower brush. To remove dirt and smudges, use a soft, clean
cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened with lens cleaner. Wipe in a circular motion from
center to outer edge, taking care not to leave traces and not to touch the other lens parts.
If you use ether in cleaning the lens, a smudge sometimes appears on the surface of a
multi-coated lens. If this happens, wipe it again with a cotton cloth moistened with
alcohol.
• Always protect the lens surface from dirt or damage. The lens hood also helps to
protect the lens.
• Keep the lens cap in place whenever the lens is not in use.
• If you will not use the lens for a long time, protect it from rust and mold by storing it in
a cool, dry place. Also, do not store in direct sunlight, and keep it away from
naphthalene or camphor.
• Be careful not to get the lens wet or drop it in water. Water on the lens may cause
malfunction.
