∫Lens Care

≥Sand and dust can damage the lens. Make

sure that no sand or dust gets inside the lens

or the terminals when using the lens on a

beach, etc.

≥This lens is not waterproof. If drops of water

get onto the lens, wipe the lens with a dry

cloth.

≥Do not press the lens with excessive force.

≥When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.)

on the surface of the lens, the picture may be

affected. Lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a

soft, dry cloth before and after taking pictures.

≥Do not place the lens mount facing downwards.

Do not allow the lens contact point 1to become

dirty.

∫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

acclimatise 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 acclimatises to the

surrounding temperature the condensation will go

away naturally.
