Precautions

Lens Care

This lens has a dust-proof and splash-proof construction. When using it, please be careful of the following.

If the lens is not working properly, consult the dealer or your nearest Service Center.

Please attach the lens to a dust-proof and splash-proof digital camera.

When detaching the lens from the digital camera, take care to ensure that sand, dust, splashes of water etc., do not get into the lens or the terminals.

This lens is not waterproof and cannot be used to record underwater. For splash-proofing, the lens is constructed to resist the entry of water. If splashes of water etc. do adhere to the lens, wipe after use with a soft dry cloth.

To improve the dust-proofing and splash-proofing of this lens, a lens mount rubber is used in the mounting portion. After changing the lens a number of times, you may find that the lens mount rubber has marked the mount portion of the digital camera body, which does not affect its performance.

For information on changing the lens mount rubber, contact your nearest Service Center.

allow the lens contact points 1 to become dirty.
