Cautions for Use

Take care not to drop or knock the lens. Also take care
not to put a lot of pressure on the lens.
• Take care not to drop the bag that you inserted the lens in
as it may strongly shock the lens. The camera may stop
operating normally and pictures may no longer be
recorded. Also, the lens may be damaged.
• When carrying the digital camera with the lens attached,
hold both the digital camera and the lens.
When using pesticides and other volatile substances around
the camera make sure that they do not get onto the lens.
• If such substances get onto the lens they can damage the
exterior case or cause the paint to peel.
Do not point the lens at the sun or other strong light
sources.
• This could cause the lens to collect an excessive amount
of light, resulting in fire and malfunction.
• Under no circumstances should the unit be stored in any
of the following locations since doing so may cause
problems in operation or malfunctioning.
– In direct sunlight or on a beach in summer
– In locations with high temperatures and humidity levels or
where the changes in temperature and humidity are acute

• Refer also to the operating instructions of the digital
camera.
• When the unit is not going to be used for a prolonged
period, we recommend storing with a desiccant (silica gel).
Failure to do so may result in performance failure caused
by mold, etc. It is recommended that you check the unit's
operation prior to use.
• Do not leave the lens in contact with rubber or plastic
products for extended periods of time.
• Do not touch the lens contact point. Doing so can cause
failure of the unit.
• Do not disassemble or alter the unit.
Do not use benzine, thinner, alcohol or other similar
cleaning agents to clean the lens glass or exterior
cabinet.
• Using solvents can damage the lens or cause the paint to peel.
• Wipe off any dust or fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth.
• If dust or dirt accumulates on the lens mount rubber, focus
ring, or aperture ring, wipe it off with a dry dust-free cloth.
• Do not use a household detergent or a chemically treated
cloth.

Troubleshooting

A sound is heard when the camera is turned on or off.
When I take pictures of a bright subject, such as a
subject outside, or when I take pictures with a large
aperture value, the lens makes a sound.
• This is the sound of lens or aperture movement and is not
a malfunction.
