∫About Condensation (Fogging of the

Lens)

≥Condensation occurs when there are differences

in temperature and humidity as described below.

Condensation can cause the lens to become dirty

and lead to mold and malfunctioning, so exercise

caution in the following situations:

– When the camera is brought indoors from outside

during cold weather

– When the camera is brought into an air-

conditioned car

– When cold air from an air conditioner is directly

blown onto the lens

– In humid places

≥Put the camera into a plastic bag to allow it to

acclimatize to the surrounding temperature in

order to prevent condensation. If condensation

occurs, turn the power off and leave it for about

two hours. Once the camera acclimatizes to the

surrounding temperature the condensation will go

away naturally.

Supplied Accessories

[Inspection to be performed when you unpack

the unit]

When removing the unit from its packing box, check

that the main unit and the supplied accessories are

there and also check their external appearance and

functions to verify that they have not sustained any

damage during distribution and transportation.

If you discover any trouble, contact your vendor

before using the product.

Product numbers correct as of January 2014. These

Names and Functions of

Components

1Lens surface

2Aperture ring

Rotate this to adjust the aperture value.

≥If you set the camera to Aperture-Priority AE

Mode or Manual Exposure Mode, the aperture

value of the ring will be enabled.

≥If you set the position of the aperture ring to [A],

the aperture value of the camera will be enabled.

3Focus ring

Rotate to focus when taking pictures with manual focus

(MF).

4[AF/MF] switch

This allows you to switch between Auto Focus (AF)

and Manual Focus (MF). If you set [MF], you can

use the focus ring to adjust the focus.

≥When either the [AF/MF] switch of the lens or the

setting of the camera is set to [MF], Manual Focus

(MF) is enabled.

5[O.I.S.] switch

When the lens is attached to the camera the stabiliser

function is set to activate if the [O.I.S.] switch is set to [ON].

≥We recommend setting the [O.I.S.] switch to [OFF]

when using a tripod.

≥The stabiliser function may not be effective in the

following cases.

– When there is a lot of jitter.

– When taking pictures while following a moving subject.

– When using the digital zoom.

≥When flash recording with a close subject, the

light of the flash will be blocked by the lens and

part of the picture may be dark. Check the

distance from the subject when recording.

≥Operating sounds may be recorded when auto-

focusing during motion picture recording. If

operating sounds become bothersome, we

recommend setting to manual focus (MF) and

fixing focus before recording to avoid recording

the lens noise.

≥

If you set the [O.I.S.] to [ON] when recording a motion

picture, operating sounds may be recorded. If they

become bothersome, we recommend setting the [O.I.S.]

switch to [OFF] and mounting the camera on a tripod.

≥The aperture can be adjusted with the aperture

ring only when a Panasonic digital camera is

attached to the lens. (As of January 2014)

Attaching/Detaching the Lens

Check that the camera is

turned off.

≥Remove the lens rear cap from

the lens.

∫Attaching the Lens

Align the lens fitting

marks A on the

camera body and the

lens and then rotate

the lens in the

direction of the arrow

until it clicks.

• Do not press the lens release button B when

you attach a lens.

• Do not try to attach the lens when holding it at an

angle to the camera body as the lens mount may

get scratched.

• Check that the lens is attached correctly.

• Be sure to remove the lens cap when recording.

∫Detaching the Lens

While pressing on the

lens release button B,

rotate the lens toward

the arrow until it stops

and then remove.

• Attach the lens rear cap

so that the lens contact

point does not get scratched.

• Attach the body cap to the camera so no dirt or

dust will get inside the main unit.

∫

Attaching the Lens Hood (Supplied Accessory)

≥Before attaching the lens hood, loosen the lens

hood screw.

1 Insert the lens hood until it stops.

2 Rotate the lens hood screw in the

direction of the arrow to fasten the lens

hood securely.

≥When using the lens, check if the lens hood screw

has become loose.

∫Temporarily Storing the Lens Hood

1 Rotate the lens hood screw in the

direction of the arrow to loosen it, and

remove the lens hood.

VQT5E44_E.book 7 ページ２０１４年１月７日　火曜日　午後７時５８分

VQT5E44

Turn the lens hood around so that it faces the

opposite direction, and insert it until it stops.

Turn the lens hood screw in the direction of

the arrow to fasten the lens hood securely.

≥

Do not carry the lens by holding

only the lens hood. Because the

lens is heavy, doing so could

cause the lens to fall off the lens

hood even when the lens hood

screw is tightened securely.

Note

≥

When taking pictures with the flash with the lens hood

attached, the lower portion of the screen may turn dark

(vignetting effect) and the control of the flash may be

disabled because the photo flash may be obscured by

the lens hood. We recommend detaching the lens hood.

≥When using the AF assist lamp in the dark, detach

the lens hood.

∫Attaching Filters

≥Vignetting may occur if using 2 or more

MC protectors (optional: DMW-LMCH67) or

PL filters (optional: DMW-LPL67), or if using thick

protectors and/or filters.

≥The filter may become impossible to remove if

excessively tightened, so please refrain from

tightening it too strongly.

≥It is possible to attach the lens cap with the filter

already attached.

≥You cannot attach a conversion lens or adaptor to

this lens. A filter may be used, but attaching any

other element may cause damage to the lens.

Cautions for Use

Take care not to drop or knock the lens. Also

take care not to put a lot of pressure on the lens.

≥

Take care not to drop the bag that you inserted the

lens in as it may strongly shock the lens. The camera

may stop operating normally and pictures may no

longer be recorded. Also, the lens may be damaged.

≥

When carrying the digital camera with the lens

attached, hold both the digital camera and the lens.

When using pesticides and other volatile

substances around the camera make sure that

they do not get onto the lens.

≥

If such substances get onto the lens they can

damage the exterior case or cause the paint to peel.

Do not point the lens at the sun or other strong

light sources.

≥This could cause the lens to collect an excessive

amount of light, resulting in fire and malfunction.

≥

Under no circumstances should the unit be stored in

any of the following locations since doing so may

cause problems in operation or malfunctioning.

– In direct sunlight or on a beach in summer

– In locations with high temperatures and humidity levels or

where the changes in temperature and humidity are acute

– In locations with high concentrations of sand, dust or dirt

– Where there is fire

– Near heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers

– Where water may make the unit wet

– Where there is vibration

– Inside a vehicle

≥

Refer also to the operating instructions of the digital camera.

≥

When the unit is not going to be used for a prolonged

period, we recommend storing with a desiccant (silica

gel). Failure to do so may result in performance

failure caused by mold, etc. It is recommended that

you check the unit’s operation prior to use.

≥

Do not leave the lens in contact with rubber or plastic

products for extended periods of time.

≥

Do not touch the lens contact point. Doing so can

cause failure of the unit.

≥

Do not disassemble or alter the unit.

Do not use benzine, thinner, alcohol or other

similar cleaning agents to clean the lens glass or

exterior cabinet.

≥Using solvents can damage the lens or cause the

paint to peel.

≥

Wipe off any dust or fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth.

≥Use a dry, dust cloth to remove dirt and dust on

the focus ring and the aperture ring.

≥Do not use a household detergent or a chemically

treated cloth.

When I turn on or off the camera or when I shake the

lens, I hear a sound, for example a rattling sound.

When I take pictures of a bright subject, such as a

subject outside, or when I take pictures with a large

aperture value, the lens makes a sound.

≥This is the sound of lens or aperture movement

and is not a malfunction.
