Precautions
∫ Handling of the lens
0 When using this lens, take care not to drop, bump,
or apply undue force to it. Doing so may cause
malfunction or damage to this lens and the digital
camera.
0
When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.) on the
DVQX1834 (ENG)
18
surface of the lens, the images may be affected. Lightly wipe
the surface of the lens with a soft, dry cloth before and after
recording.
0 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.
0 To protect the lens contact
points (A), do not do the
following. These may
cause malfunction.
– Touch the lens contact
points.
– Allow the lens contact
points to become dirty.
– Place the lens with its
mount surface facing
down.
∫ Dust and splash resistant
0 The dust and splash resistant of the lens 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 working properly,
consult the dealer or Panasonic.
– 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
DVPY1015Z
DVZE1036Z

1GE1Z253Z
VFC4605
liquids, wipe them off with a soft, dry cloth.
0 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 Panasonic.
∫ Condensation (when the lens is fogged up)
0 Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or
humidity changes. Please be careful, as it may cause
lens stains, mold and malfunction.
0 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.
0 The appearance and specifications of products
described in this document may differ from the actual
products you have purchased due to later

Cautions for Use
0 Do not spray the lens with insecticides or volatile
chemicals.
– If such substances get onto the lens they can
damage the exterior case or cause the paint to peel.
0 Do not point the lens at the sun or other strong
light sources.
– This may cause the lens to collect an excessive
amount of light, resulting in fire and malfunction.
0 Do not use while directly touching the lens at low
temperatures for a long period of time.
– In cold places (environments below 0 oC (32 oF), such
as ski slopes), prolonged direct contact with the metal
parts of the lens may cause skin injury. Use gloves or
similar when using the lens for long periods.
0 When cleaning, wipe lightly using a soft dry cloth
that does not produce dust.
– Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinners,
alcohol, kitchen cleansers, etc., as this can cause
problems such as deformation of the casing or
peeling of the coating.
– Do not use wipes with chemicals.
0 Do not keep products made of rubber, PVC or similar
materials in contact with the lens for a long period of
time.
0 Do not disassemble or alter this product.
0
When the lens is not going to be used for a prolonged
period, we recommend storing with a desiccant (silica gel).
0 Check all the parts before recording when you have not
used the lens for a long period of time.
0 Avoid using or storing the lens in any of the following
locations as this 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 severe changes in temperature and
humidity
– In sandy or dusty locations
– Where there is fire
– Near heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers
– Where water may make the lens wet
– Where there is vibration
– Inside a vehicle
0 Refer also to the operating instructions for the digital
camera.
Troubleshooting
A rattling sound, etc. is heard when the digital
camera is turned on or off or the lens is shaken.
There is a sound from the lens when taking pictures.
0 This is the sound of the lens moving and aperture
operation. It is not a malfunction.
