∫Lens Care≥Sand and dust can damage the lens. Make 
sure that no sand or dust gets inside the lens 
or the terminals when using the lens on a 
beach, etc.
≥ This lens is not waterproof. If drops of water 
get onto the lens, wipe the lens with a dry 
cloth.
≥ Do not press the lens with excessive force.
≥ When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.) 
on the surface of the lens, the picture may be 
affected. Lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a 
soft, dry cloth before and after taking pictures.
≥ Do not place the lens mount facing downwards. 
Do not allow the lens contact points  1 to become 
dirty.
∫ About Condensation (Fogging of the 
Lens)≥Condensation occurs when  there are differences 
in temperature and humidity as described below. 
Condensation can cause the lens to become dirty 
and lead to mold and malfunctioning, so exercise 
caution in the following situations:
– When the camera is brought indoors from outside 
during cold weather
– When the camera is brought into an air- conditioned car
– When cold air from an air conditioner is directly  blown onto the lens
– In humid places
≥ Put the camera into a plastic bag to allow it to 
acclimatize to the surrounding temperature in 
order to prevent condensation. If condensation 
occurs, turn the power off and leave it for about 
two hours. Once the camera acclimatizes to the 
surrounding temperature the condensation will go 
away naturally.
