HANDLING THE PRODUCT

 WARNING

1.  Never allow water or other liquids to enter or be spilled on 

the product. Immediately stop using the product if water 

or other liquids get inside the product. Otherwise, fire or 

electric shock could result.

2.  Do not stare at the sun or any other source of high-

intensity light through the lens. Doing so could injure your 

eyes.

 CAUTION

1.  Always grasp the specified portions of the lens when 

transporting the lens, or when attaching or detaching it to 

or from the camera head. 

Otherwise, the lens may fall, possibly causing injury.

2.  All mountings must be tightened securely. If any of the 

mountings become loose, the lens may fall, possibly 

causing injury.

3.  Always grasp the connector itself when connecting 

or disconnecting the demand cable. Pulling on the 

cable portion may result in damage to the cable, such 

as breakage of the conductors. Power leaking from a 

damaged cable may present a fire or electric shock 

hazard.

4.  Check periodically (for instance, every 6 months to 1 

year) that all mountings are securely tightened. If any of 

the mountings become loose, the lens may fall, possibly 

causing injury.

5.  If it becomes necessary to repair this product, or to 

perform any operations or adjustments not mentioned in 

this operation manual, contact Canon’s representative or 

the dealer who originally supplied the lens.

6.  When this product is used in direct sunlight, the inside 

of the unit may be heated to high temperatures. When 

it is expected that the unit is exposed to elevated 

temperatures, take measures against heat as appropriate 

on the customer’s side.

* (NOTE)

1.  Protect the lens from strong impacts of shocks. Striking 

or dropping the lens could damage it.

2.  Since the lens is not completely waterproof, avoid directly 

exposing the lens to rain or snow. When the lens has to 

be used in rain or snow, provisions should be made to 

prevent the lens from getting wet.

3.  Under dusty conditions, the lens should be mounted or 

dismounted with a cover placed over the mount so as to 

prevent dust from entering the inside.

4.  Do not bring the lens from an area with a very cold 

ambient temperature abruptly into a warm room, as the 

lens may fog on the inside. If this happens, the lens 

cannot be used until the condensation clears. Take 

adequate countermeasures to ensure that condensation 

does not form.

5.  If the lens is to be used in adverse environments, such 

as in a chemical laden atmosphere, consult with Canon’s 

representative beforehand.

DEALING WITH 

ABNORMALITIES

 WARNING

1.  Should any of the abnormalities described below occur, 

contact Canon’s representative or the dealer who 

originally supplied the lens.

• Smoke, unusual smell or unusual noise
• Entry  of  foreign  objects  (including  metals  or  liquids) 

inside the lens.

MAINTENANCE AND 

INSPECTION

 WARNING

1.  Unplug the demand cable and remove the lens from the 

camera, before attempting to clean the lens. Never use 

flammable substances such as benzene or thinner for 

cleaning, as this may present a serious fire or electric 

shock hazard.
