Lens Care
•
Keep the CPU contacts clean.
•
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.
•
A lens hood or NC filter can be used to protect the front lens element.
When using an optional lens hood, do not pick up or hold the lens or
camera using only the hood. Lens hoods and filters are not available
for the 1 NIKKOR VR 10–30mm f/3.5–5.6 PD-ZOOM.
•
When the lens is not in use, attach the rear cap and either ensure that
the lens is retracted and the cover closed (1 NIKKOR VR 10–30mm
f/3.5–5.6 PD-ZOOM) or attach the front cap (other lenses).
•
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 irrep-
arable damage.
•
Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp
parts made from reinforced plastic.
•
When using the 1 NIKKOR VR 10–30mm f/3.5–5.6 PD-ZOOM, be sure
not touch the lens cover. Failure to observe this precaution could
result in product malfunction.
