Precautions to ensure that the camera is used 
safely. Read these precautions thoroughly. Make 
sure all details are observed in order to prevent 
risks and injury to the user and other people.
 Warning Details pertaining to risks that may 
result in death or serious injury.
●
● Do not look at the sun or a bright light source 
through the lens.  Doing so could result in vision loss 
or blindness.
●
● 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.
 Caution Details pertaining to risks that may 
result in injury.
●
● Do not hold the Macro Lites located on the front 
of the lens close to the eyes or stare at them when 
they are illuminated.  Doing so may result in eye 
damage. 
●
● Do not leave the camera in locations subject to 
high or low temperatures.  This may result in the 
camera becoming excessively hot or cold, which may 
cause burns or other injuries when touched. 
Caution  Details pertaining to risks that may 
result in damage to property.
●
● Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in a 
car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the 
lens to malfunction.

General Precautions
Handling Precautions
●
● 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.
●
● Please also read any lens related handling precautions 
listed in your camera’s instruction manual.Shooting Precautions
●
● Note that there are cases in which the white ring on 
the front of the lens may be reflected into photographs 
if the lens is held close to reflective objects (glass 
surface on wristwatches, for example), even if the 
Macro Lites are not illuminated. This can be avoided by 
attaching the hood when taking photographs.
