Safety Precautions

Safety Precautions

Do not look at the sun or a bright light source

through the lens or camera. Doing so could result in

loss of vision. Looking at the sun directly through the

lens is especially hazardous.

Do not point the lens or camera at the sun or

photograph it. This is because the lens concentrates

the sun’s rays even when the sun is outside the image

area or when shooting with backlight, which could

cause malfunction or fire.

Whether it is attached to the camera or not, do

not leave the lens under the sun without the

lens cap attached. This is to prevent the lens from

concentrating the sun’s rays, which could cause a fire.

When the lens is mounted on a camera, be sure to

also hold the camera by the lens, including when

mounting on a tripod. Only holding by the camera

could result in scratches on the camera body or the

lens itself. The lens may also detach from its mount

and fall, causing injury.

Do not use a strap attached to the camera. The mount

may break, resulting in the lens falling off and causing

injury or in scratches on the camera. Be sure to use

the camera with a dedicated strap attached correctly to

the strap mount on the lens.

Do not stand on top of the lens case. You may fall and

injure yourself.

Do not pile lens cases on top of one another as they

may fall and cause injury.

Handling Cautions

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.

Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in a

car in direct sunlight.

High temperatures can cause

the lens to malfunction.
