Lens Care
•
Do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the
lens hood.
•
Keep the CPU contacts clean.
•
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.
