    							4VQT4N33 (ENG)∫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 points  1 to 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 
    acclimatize to the surr ounding 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.

    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.
