■ Lens Care

• Do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the lens 

hood.

• Keep the CPU contacts clean.
• Should the rubber lens-mount gasket be damaged, cease 

use immediately and take the lens to a Nikon-authorized 
service center for repair.

• 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.

• The lens hood or NC filters can be used to protect the front 

lens element.

• Attach the front and rear caps before placing the lens in its 

flexible pouch.

• 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 irreparable damage.

• Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or 

warp parts made from reinforced plastic.
