Lens Care
■
•
Do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the lens hood.
•
Keep the CPU contacts clean.
En
•
Should the rubber lens‑mount gasket be damaged, cease use
immediately and take the lens to a Nikon‑authorized service center for
repair.
•
Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces. To remove
smudges and fingerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol or lens
cleaner to a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens‑cleaning tissue and clean
from the center outwards using a circular motion, taking care not to
leave smears or touch the glass with your fingers.
•
Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean
the lens.
•
The lens hood or NC filters can be used to protect the front lens
element.
•
Attach the front and rear caps before placing the lens in its flexible
pouch.
•
If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry
location to prevent mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight or
with naphtha or camphor moth balls.
•
Keep the lens dry. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause
irreparable damage.
•
Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts
made from reinforced plastic.
