≥ 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.
≥ Use a dry dust cloth to remove dirt and dust on
the focus ring.
≥ Do not use a household detergent or a chemically
treated cloth.
Troubleshooting
A sound is heard when the camera is turned on
or off.
≥ This is the sound of lens or aperture movement
and is not a malfunction.
