Precautions

∫ Lens Care

≥ Do not press the lens with excessive force. ≥ When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.)

on the surface of the lens, the picture may be affected. Lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a soft, dry cloth before and after taking pictures.

≥

When the lens is not in use, be sure to attach the lens cap and lens rear cap to prevent dust and other particles from accumulating on or entering the lens.

≥ To protect the lens contact points 1, do not place

the lens with its mount surface facing down. In addition, do not allow the lens contact points to become dirty.

∫ Dust and splash resistant

≥ The dust and splash resistant of the camera

will not prevent the entry of dust or water droplets completely. Take the following precautions to provide satisfactory dust and splash resistant performance. If the lens is not

DVQX1826 (ENG)

working properly, consult the dealer or your nearest Service Center.

– Attach to a digital camera that is dust and

splash resistant.

–

When attaching or removing the lens, be careful so that foreign objects such as sand, dust, and water droplets do not adhere to or enter the lens mount rubber, contact points, digital camera and lens.

– If the lens is exposed to water droplets or other

liquids, wipe them off with a soft, dry cloth.

≥ To improve the dust and splash resistant

performance of the lens, a lens mount rubber is used in the mount.

– The lens mount rubber will leave scuff marks on

the digital camera mount, but this does not impact performance.

– For information on changing the lens mount

rubber, contact your nearest Service Center.

∫ About Condensation (Fogging of the

Lens)

≥ Condensation occurs when the ambient

temperature or humidity changes. Please be careful, as it may cause lens stains, mold and malfunction.

≥ If condensation occurs, turn off the digital camera

and leave it for approx. 2 hours. The fog will disappear naturally when the temperature of the digital camera becomes close to the ambient temperature.

∫ Detaching the Lens

While pressing on the lens release button B, rotate the lens toward the arrow until it stops and then remove.

carry the lens by just holding the lens hood.

DVQX1826 (ENG)
