• Leaving the camera in the direct sunlight
without covering the lens with the lens cap,
may damage to the inside of the camera.
• When storing the lens in a case, attach the
front and near lens caps that come sup-
plied with the lens to protect it from dust
and scratches.
• After removing the lens from the camera
body, be careful not to let it roll over or fall.
Be sure to place the lens with its front side
down.
• Moisture can cause serious damage to
optical glass elements. Storage in a damp
place may cause mildew, so avoid storing
the lens in a place where temperature and
humidity are high. Keep you lens in as dry
a place as possible.
• If you do not expect to use the lens for an
extended period, store it in the case with a
desiccant or it is recommended that the
lens occasionally be taken out of the case
and placed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated
place to avoid the possibility of damage
due to condensation build-up.
• Use a blower or lens brush to remove dust
on the lens. If the lens becomes dirty,
remove the dirty particle with a blower
brush, then wipe it off with a clean cotton
cloth or tissue paper moistened with lens
cleaning solution.
Wipe in a spiral pattern from the center to
the outside.
