ALens Care

•When using an optional lens hood, do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the hood.

•Keep the CPU contacts clean.

•Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces. To remove smudges and fingerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol or lens cleaner to a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens-cleaning tissue and clean from the center outwards using a circular motion, taking care not to leave smears or touch the glass with your fingers.

•Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the lens.

•A lens hood or NC filter can be used to protect the front lens element.

•Attach the front and rear caps when the lens is not in use.

•If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry location to prevent mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight or with naphtha or camphor moth balls.

•Keep the lens dry. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irrep- arable damage.

•Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts made from reinforced plastic.
