a Safety Precautions

(1)Whether it is attached to the camera or not, do not leave the lens under the sun without the lens cap attached.

This is to prevent the lens from concentrating the sun’s rays which can cause a fire.

(2)Do not look at the sun or a bright light source through the lens or camera.

Doing so can result in loss of vision. Looking at the sun through the detached lens is especially hazardous.

■ Detaching the lens

After detaching the lens, attach the dust cap to the rear of the lens to protect the electrical contacts and lens surface from scratching.

If the contacts are dirty, scratched, or soiled with fingerprints, etc., corrosion or a faulty connection or operation may result.

If the lens surface is dirty, the lens may not autofocus properly.
