Safety Precautions

Do not look at the sun or a bright light source
through the lens or camera.

Doing so could

result in loss of vision. Looking at the sun directly
through the lens is especially hazardous.

Whether it is attached to the camera or not, do
not leave the lens under the sun without the
lens cap attached.

This is to prevent the lens from

concentrating the sun’s rays, which could cause a
fire.

Handling Cautions

If the lens is taken from a cold environment into
a warm one, condensation may develop on the
lens surface and internal parts.

To prevent

condensation in this case, first put the lens into an
airtight plastic bag before taking it from a cold to
warm environment. Then take out the lens after it
has warmed gradually. Do the same when taking
the lens from a warm environment into a cold one.

• Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in

a car in direct sunlight. 

High temperatures can

cause the lens to malfunction.
