Although we have carefully designed these lenses for safe operation, please pay special
attention to items marked with the following symbols when using this product.

FOR SAFE USE OF YOUR LENS

《1》

WARNING

This symbol indicates precautions that if not followed,
could result in serious injury to the user.

CAUTION

This symbol indicates precautions that if not followed,
could result in minor or medium injury to the user or
damage to the equipment.

• Never look at the sun through the lens or camera. Serious damage to the retina or total loss of
eyesight may occur.

WARNING

• Do not leave the lens in direct sunlight without lens caps. Direct sunlight passing through the

lens will be intensified, and should it focus on flammable materials, fire may occur.

CAUTION

1. Storage and mildew prevention

•

Take the lens out of the protective case or camera bag, and store it in a dry, well-ventilated place.

• Avoid storing the lens in a poorly ventilated location such as a closet, wardrobe, drawer, vehicle,
or where insect repellent or medicine is kept.

• Avoid storing the lens in areas of high temperature and humidity, where there is a risk of mildew
growth. Store the lens with a desiccant in a dry cabinet, airtight container, or plastic bag.
(Leaving a saturated desiccant in the storage container can cause damage to the lens. Be sure
to read the instructions that come with the desiccant before use.)

2.

The lens is not waterproof. When using the lens in a rain or mist, be careful not to allow it to get wet.

3. Never use any organic solvent such as thinner, alcohol, or benzine, etc. to remove dust on the lens.

4. The lens is a precise optical instrument. Be careful not to let it fall, or subject it to strong shocks or
pressure. Use a cushion or similar pad to protect the lens from the vibrations of motorcycles or other
vehicles, boats, etc.

5. Avoid subjecting the lens to rapid changes in temperature, otherwise condensation can occur on
both the inside and the outside of the lens. Put the lens in a plastic bag or camera bag, and take it
out after the lens has reached ambient temperature.

6. When the lens is not attached to the camera body, attach both the supplied lens cap and lens
mountcap to protect it from dust.

7. Do not leave the camera with the lens cap off attached to a tripod or other rigid camera support.
The inner parts of the camera can be damaged by direct sunlight.

8. Have the lens inspected by a dealer every one or two years to maintain its high performance.
