Notes on Use
• Do not
leave
the lens
exposed
to the
sun or a
bright
light
source.
Internal
malfunction of
the
camera
body and
lens,
smoke, or a
fire may result due to the
effect of
light focusing. If circumstances necessitate
leaving the lens in
sunlight, be sure
to
attach
the lens
caps. When shooting against the sun,
keep the
sun
completely out of
the
angle of
view.
•
When carrying a camera
w
ith
the
lens
attached,
always
firmly hold both
the camera and
the lens.
• This lens is not
water-proof, although designed with
dust-proofness and splash-proofness
in mind. If using
in the
rain etc., keep
water drops
away
from the lens.
• If
the
lens
alone
is
shaken or
if
a camera with
the lens
attached
is
shaken
w
hile the
camera
is turned
off,
an internal component of
the
lens
may rattle. This
,
howeve r,
does
not
indicate
a
malfunction.
In
addition, while you carry around
the
lens,
your
movement
may
cause
the
internal
lens
groups
to
shake.
This, however,
does
not
affect
the
performance
of the
lens groups.
• Using this unit
with products
from
other
manufacturers may
affect
its
performance,
leading
to
accidents or
malfunction.
Precautions on using a flash
• With certain combinations of
lens
and
flash
,
the lens
may
partially block
the light
of
the flash
,
resulting in
a shadow at
the
bottom of
the
picture.
In
such a case,
adjust
the focal length
or
the
shooting
distance
before
shooting.
Vignetting
• When using
the
lens,
the corners of
the
screen
become darker
than the
center.
To reduce this
phenomena
(ca
lled
vignetting),
close
the
aperture
by
1 to
2 stops.
