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
– In locations with high concentrations of sand, dust or dirt
– Where there is fire
– Near heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers
– Where water may make the unit wet
– Where there is vibration
– Inside a vehicle
≥ 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 and the aperture ring.
≥ Do not use a household detergent or a chemically
treated cloth.

Troubleshooting

When I turn on or off the camera or when I shake the
lens, I hear a sound, for example a rattling sound.
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.
