Precautions for Use
• Be sure to support the lens when holding the camera. Failure to observe this
precaution could damage the camera lens mount.
• Do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the lens caps or 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.
• Reattach the lens caps when the lens is not in use.
• Do not leave the lens in humid locations or in locations in which it may be
exposed to moisture. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable
damage.
• Do not leave the lens next to open flames or in other extremely hot locations.
Extreme heat could damage or warp the lens.
• Taking the lens from a warm to a cold environment or vice versa may cause
damaging condensation inside and outside the lens. Place the lens in a sealed
bag or plastic case before taking it across a temperature boundary. The lens can
be taken from the bag or case once it has had time to adjust to the new
temperature.
• We recommend that you place the lens in its case to protect it from scratches
during transport.
• Nikon will not be held liable in the event that the lens is stolen or damaged
while a third-party anti-theft cable is attached to the security slot.
