aSafety Precautions

Do not look at the sun or a bright light source through the lens or camera. Doing so could result in loss of vision. Looking at the sun directly through the lens is especially hazardous.

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 could cause a fire.

To mount/detach the lens, always move the tilt and shift scales to “0”. Fingers may get caught, or the camera may be damaged.

When you tilt or shift the lens, sharp portions of the tilt or shift mechanism are exposed and care should be taken to avoid touching these portions.

Do not operate the shift function while operating the rotation function. You may be injured by having your fingers caught.

Handling Cautions

If the lens is taken from a cold environment into a warm one, condensation may develop on the lens surface and internal parts. To prevent condensation in this case, first put the lens into an airtight plastic bag before taking it from a cold to warm environment. Then take out the lens after it has warmed gradually. Do the same when taking the lens from a warm environment into a cold one.

Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the lens to malfunction.
