Cautions for Use
∫ About the Lens
Take care not to drop or knock the lens. Also
take care not to put a lot of pressure on the lens.
≥ Take care not to drop the bag that you inserted the
lens in as it may strongly shock the lens. The
camera may stop operating normally and pictures
may no longer be recorded. Also, the lens may be
damaged.
When using pesticides and other volatile
substances around the camera make sure that
they do not get onto the lens.
≥ If such substances get onto the lens they can
damage the exterior case or cause the paint to
peel.
Do not carry the unit when it is still attached to
the camera body.
≥ Under no circumstances should the unit be stored
in any of the following locations since doing so
may cause problems in operation or
malfunctioning.
– In direct sunlight or on a beach in summer
– In locations with high temperatures and humidity
levels or where the changes in temperature and
humidity are acute
– In locations with high concentrations of sand,
dust or dirt
– Where there is fire
– Near heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers
– Where water may make the unit wet
– Where there is vibration
– Inside a vehicle
≥ Refer also to the operating instructions of the
digital camera.
≥ When the unit is not going to be used for a
prolonged period, we recommend storing with a
desiccant (silica gel). Failure to do so may result in
performance failure caused by mold, etc. It is
recommended that you check the unit’s operation
prior to use.
≥ Do not leave the lens in contact with rubber or
plastic products for extended periods of time.
≥ Do not touch the lens contact point. Doing so can
cause failure of the unit.
≥ Do not disassemble or alter the unit. If the internal
parts require inspection or repair, take the unit to
the vendor.
