Handling Precautions

 

z

 Do not leave the product in excessive heat such as 

in a car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can 

cause the product to malfunction.

 

z

 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.

 

z

 The lens interior may appear to waver, but this 

does not indicate a defect or failure, and will not 

cause any problems in use.

 

z

 In order to optimize aperture control, there are 

occasions in which the aperture blades will move 

during focusing, even when the aperture value is 

set for aperture-priority AE or manual exposure, 

etc.

 

z

 Please also read any lens related handling 

precautions listed in your camera’s instruction 

manual.
