LENS CARE

•Although you should always keep the lens surfaces clean, rough cleaning must be avoided. Wipe with a soft, clean cotton cloth moistened with alcohol to remove grease or fingerprints from the lens surfaces.

If you use ether in cleaning the lens, a smudge sometimes appears on the surface of a multi-coated lens. If this happens, wipe it again with a cotton cloth moistened with alcohol.

•Take care in cleaning the rear part of the lens with a spraygun-type blower because its strong stream of air may damage the lens diaphragm blades. To avoid damage, set the lens at full aperture and use the blower far enough away.

•Always protect the lens surface from dirt or damage. The lens hood also helps to protect the lens.

•Keep the lens cap in place whenever the lens is not in use.

•If you do not intend to use the lens for a long time, protect it from rust and mold by storing it in a cool, dry place. Also, do not store in direct sunlight, and keep it away from naphthalene or camphor.

•Be careful not to get the lens wet or drop it in water. Water on the lens may cause malfunction.
