Lens Care

Keep the CPU contacts clean.
Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces. To

remove smudges and fingerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol
or lens cleaner to a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens-cleaning tissue and
clean from the center outwards using a circular motion, taking care
not to leave smears or touch the glass with your fingers.

Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean

the lens.

The lens hood or NC filters can be used to protect the front lens

element.

Attach the front and rear caps before placing the lens in its flexible

pouch.

When a lens hood is attached, do not pick up or hold the lens or

camera using only the hood.

If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool,

dry location to prevent mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight
or with naphtha or camphor moth balls.

Keep the lens dry. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause

irreparable damage.

Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp

parts made from reinforced plastic.
