RESPONDING TO MALFUNCTION OR ACCIDENTS

 

WARNING

1. If any of the following situations occurs, immediately disconnect the lens cable from the camera and contact your dealer 

or a Canon representative listed below.

・ 

Smoke, fumes, or unusual noises coming from the lens

・ 

Foreign objects (such as liquid or metal objects) inside the lens

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

 

WARNING

1. Before cleaning the lens, always disconnect the lens cable and remove the lens from the camera. 

Do not use benzene, thinner, or other fl ammable substances to clean the lens. This may cause fire or electric shock.

NOTE

1. Clean off any dust on the lens using a lens blower or a soft lens brush. 

In case of fingerprints or stains on the lens, use a clean cotton cloth moistened with commercial lens cleaning fluid, or 

use lens cleaning paper. Gently wipe in a spiral pattern from the center of the lens. 

Be careful not to rub dust across the lens, which may scratch the lens surface.

2. Routine inspection about once a year is recommended, depending on the conditions and environment of use. Request 

overhaul, if needed.

STORAGE

 

CAUTION

1. Always attach the lens cap (or hood cap) and dust cap before storage. Storing the lens without the caps attached 

poses a risk of fire if the lens focuses a light source.

NOTE

1. Immediately wipe off any moisture on the lens from misty or foggy environments, using a dry cloth. Seal the lens in a 

plastic bag with a desiccant (preferably new) to prevent moisture inside.
