Lens Care
≥ This lens has a dust-proof and splash-proof 
construction. When using it, please be careful of 
the following. 
If the lens is not working properly, consult the 
dealer or your nearest Service Centre.
– Please attach the lens to a dust-proof and 
splash-proof digital camera.
– Make sure that no sand, dust, drops of water, 
etc., gets on or inside the lens mount rubber, 
terminals, and inside the digital camera and lens 
when attaching or detaching the lens.
– This lens is not waterproof and cannot be used to 
record underwater. For splash-proofing, the lens 
is constructed to resist the entry of water. If 
splashes of water etc. do adhere to the lens, wipe 
after use with a soft dry cloth.
≥ To improve the dust-proofing and splash-proofing 
of this lens, a lens mount rubber is used in the 
mounting portion. After changing the lens a 
number of times, you may find that the lens mount 
rubber has marked the mount portion of the digital 
camera body, which does not affect its 
performance. 
For information on changing the lens mount 
rubber, contact your nearest Service Centre.
≥ 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
