which O-rings are arranged in the focus and iris replacing
mechanism and in the C-mount part. Be sure to confirm
and observe the precautions described below. * The lens
unit is not water and dust resistance as a single unit.
– Make sure that the lens is properly attached to the
camera.
– Avoid use of the product underwater or operation
under high humidity conditions; do not operate or
disassemble the moveable parts with water drops
attached. If moisture remains inside the product, it will
cause lens fogging. If there is fogging on the interior, be

than water, such as oil, solvents, detergents, or
chemicals, to contact the product.

drops attached without drying it. It is possible that this
will cause degradation, rusting, or soiling of the glass,
housing and O-rings, resulting in the product becoming
unusable.

the surface of the camera C-mount.
Handling O-rings

to the O-rings.
