Cautions for Use

Take care not to drop or knock the lens. Also take care not to put a lot of pressure on the lens.

Take care not to drop the bag that you inserted the lens in as it may damage the lens. The camera may stop operating normally and pictures may no longer be recorded.

When using pesticides and other volatile substances around the camera make sure that they do not get onto the lens.

If such substances get onto the lens they can damage the exterior case or cause the paint to peel.

Do not carry the unit when it is still attached to the camera body.

Under no circumstances should the unit be stored in any of the following locations since doing so may cause problems in operation or malfunctioning.

In direct sunlight or on a beach in summer

In locations with high temperatures and humidity levels or where the changes in temperature and humidity are acute

Where there is fire

Near heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers

Where there is vibration

Inside a vehicle

Refer also to the owner’s manual of the digital camera.

When the unit is not going to be used for a prolonged period, we recommend storing with a desiccant (silica gel). Failure to do so may result in performance failure caused by mold, etc. It is recommended that you check the unit’s operation prior to use.

Do not leave the lens in contact with rubber or plastic products for extended periods of time.

Do not touch the lens contact point. Doing so can cause failure of the unit.

Do not disassemble or alter the unit.

Do not use benzine, thinner, alcohol or other similar cleaning agents to clean the lens glass or exterior cabinet.

Using solvents can damage the lens or cause the paint to peel.

Wipe off any dust or fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth.

Use a dry, dust cloth to remove dirt and dust on the zoom ring and focus ring.

Do not use a household detergent or a chemically treated cloth.

Troubleshooting

A sound is heard when the camera is turned on or off. A sound is heard from the lens when taking a picture of a bright subject such as when outdoors.

This is the sound of lens or aperture movement and is not a malfunction.
