Nikon NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR Lens (Z) - Manual (Page 33)

Precautions for Use
• Do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the lens caps or lens hood.
• Observe the following precautions while the lens is attached to the camera:
Be sure to support the lens when holding the camera. Failure to observe this
precaution could damage the lens and camera mounts.
Use a lens strap when carrying the camera with the lens attached. Using a
strap attached to the camera alone could damage the strap or the mounts on
the camera or lens, causing the camera or lens to fall.
• Keep the CPU contacts clean.
• Should the rubber lens-mount gasket be damaged, cease use immediately and
take the lens to a Nikon-authorized service center for repair.
• Reattach the lens caps when the lens is not in use.
• Do not leave the lens in humid locations or in locations in which it may be
exposed to moisture. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable
damage.
• Do not leave the lens next to open flames or in other extremely hot locations.
Extreme heat could damage or warp the lens.
• Taking the lens from a warm to a cold environment or vice versa may cause
damaging condensation inside and outside the lens. Place the lens in a sealed
bag or plastic case before taking it across a temperature boundary. The lens
can be taken from the bag or case once it has had time to adjust to the new
temperature.
• We recommend that you place the lens in its case to protect it from scratches
during transport.
• Keep credit cards and other such magnetic storage devices away from the
camera and lens. Data stored on the device could be corrupted.
