Precautions

■ Lens Care

• Sand and dust can damage the lens. Make sure that no sand or dust gets inside the lens or the terminals when using the lens on a beach, etc.
• The lens is neither waterproof no splash-proof. If drops of water get onto the lens, wipe the lens with a dry cloth.
• Do not press the lens with excessive force.
• When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints. etc.) on the surface of the lens, the picture may be affected. Lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a soft, dry cloth before and after taking pictures.
• Do not place the lens mount facing downwards. Do not allow the lens contact points® to become dirty. (See illustration A)

■ About Condensation (Fogging of the Lens)

• Condensation occurs when there are differences in temperature and tumidity as described below. Condensation can cause the lens to become dirty and lead to mold and malfunctioning, so exercise caution in the following situations:
  — When the camera is brought indoors from outside during cold weather
  — When the camera is brought into an air-conditioned car
  — When cold air from an air conditioner is directly blown onto the lens
  — In humid places

• Put the camera into a plastic bag to allow it to acclimatize to the surrounding temperature in order to prevent condensation. If condensation occurs, turn the power off and leave it for about two hours. Once the camera acclimatizes to the surrounding temperature the condensation will go away naturally.

Supplied Accessories

(Inspection to be performed when you unpack the unit) When removing the unit from its packing box, check that the main unit and the supplied accessories are there and also check their external appearance and functions to verify that they have not sustained any damage during distribution and transportation.

Note
When flash recording with a close subject, the light of the flash will be blocked by the lens and part of the picture may be dark. Check the distance from the subject when recording.

Attaching/Detaching the Lens

• Refer also to the camera’s operating instructions for attaching and detaching the lens.
• Check that the camera is turned off.
• Remove the lens rear cap from the lens. (See illustration 1)

■ Attaching the Lens (See illustration 2)
Align the lens fitting marks (A) on the camera body and the lens and then rotate the lens in the direction of the arrow until it clicks.

• Do not press the lens release button (B) when you attach a lens.
• Do not try to attach the lens when holding it at an angle to the camera body as the lens mount may get scratched.
• Check that the lens is attached correctly.

■ Detaching the Lens (See illustration 3)
While pressing on the lens release button (B), rotate the lens toward the arrow until it stops and then remove.

• When rotating the lens, hold C), the portion near the base of the lens.
• Attach the lens rear cap so that the lens contact point does not get scratched.
• Attach the body cap to the camera so no dirt or dust will get inside the main unit.

Attaching Filters

• Vignetting may occur if using 2 or more MC protectors (optional: DMW-LMC46), PL filters (optional: DMW-LPL46) or ND filters (optional: DMW-LND46), or if using thick protectors and/or filters.
• The filter may become impossible to remove if excessively tightened, so please refrain from tightening it too strongly.
• It is possible to attach the lens cap with the filter already attached.
• You cannot attach a conversion lens or adaptor to this lens. A filter may be used, but attaching any other element may cause damage to the lens.

About Macro Recording

The lens is designed to allow you to focus anywhere from the macro range (close-up distance) to infinity. For this reason, its focus lens moves a greater distance than a normal one, often causing Auto Focus operation to take longer. Please also note that the size of the area that can be brought into focus becomes much smaller in the macro range. When you have trouble bringing close-up subjects into focus, use a tripod or check the digital cameras focus settings. We recommend that you take pictures with either of the following settings when using a Panasonic digital camera:

• Set the Auto Focus Mode to (1-Area) to reduce the size of the AF area.
• Use Manual Focus (MF) to focus.

For details, refer to the operating instructions for the digital camera.

About the Exposure
The difference between the nominal F value (aperture value displayed on the camera) and the effective F value (actual aperture value) will be greater when taking pictures using the macro function, which allows you to take pictures of close-up subjects enlarged. When using a commercially available stand-alone exposure meter, it is necessary to correct the value depending on the magnification and distance from the subject. Refer to following table for the exposure correction (exposure factor).
It is not necessary to correct the difference between the nominal F value and the effective F value with the automatic exposure of the camera, since it will determine the exposure by measuring the light coming in through the lens. Guide for exposure correction when using a stand-alone exposure meter

A Magnification
B  Distance
C  Nominal F value
D  Effective F value
E Exposure correction (Exposure factor) (In steps of 1/3)

• Distance is the actual distance between the recording plane ( [ ] marked on the body of the digital camera) to the subject.
• Magnification represents the (size of the image of the subject at the recording plane)/(actual size of the subject).

Cautions for Use

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.
  — Indirect 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. Do not use benzine, thinner, alcohol or other similar cleaning agents to clean the lens glass or exterior cabinet.
• Using solvents can damage the lens or cause the paint to peel.
• Wipe off any dust or fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth.
• Use a dry, dust cloth to remove dirt and dust on the focus ring.
• Do not use a household detergent or a chemically treated cloth.

Troubleshooting

A sound is heard when the camera is turned on or off.

• This is the sound of lens or aperture movement and is not a malfunction.

When this lens is attached to digital camera, stabiliser function cannot be turned off or stabiliser function does not work.
The Optical Image Stabiliser function of this lens only works correctly with supported cameras.
–0 When older Panasonic digital cameras (DMC-GF1, DMC-GI-l1, DMC-G1) are used, [Stabilizer] in the [Rec] mode menu cannot be set to [OFF]. It is recommended to update the firmware of the digital camera at the following website. http://panasonic.ja/surmort/globalics/dscidownload/
