Note
≥ When using this lens and the flash to record a
subject very close to the camera, it is possible that
a darker shadowed area may appear in the lower
portion of the picture. This situation is not a
malfunction and is caused when the flash is
partially blocked by the lens. This situation may be
worsened when the lens hood is used.
≥ In very quiet situations Auto Focus operating sounds
may be recorded during motion picture recording.
This is not a malfunction. In such situations,
switching to Manual Focus will improve the situation.
≥ The aperture can be adjusted with the aperture
ring only when a Panasonic digital camera is
attached to the lens. (As of April 2014)
