CAUTION

To maintain your safety and prevent damage to the lens, please fully familiarize yourself with the following:

Do not look directly at the sun through the lens as it may seriously impair your vision.
Do not to apply excessive force when attaching the lens to the camera as it may cause damage to the lens or your camera.
The lens is a precision optical product, so dropping or excessive impact may cause product failure.
Attach or detach the lens only while the camera is turned on.
Protect the lens from water, high humidity, and excessive heat.
Always store the lens with the lens cap on in a dry and well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight. Direct sunlight passing through the lens could become concentrated enough to cause a fire.
Avoid subjecting the lens to drastic temperature changes such as moving from a very cold outdoor location to a warm indoor location. This can cause moisture in the air to condense inside or on the outside of the lens and lead to failure or mold production. Before taking the lens indoors from a cold outdoor location, put the lens in a plastic bag or sealed camera bag and remove it only when the lens has warmed up to room temperature.

CAUTION

When mounting the lens make sure that it clicks in place otherwise it may detach and cause damage or injury.
Do not modify or try to repair the lens as this will void the warranty.
Do not apply excessive force on the lens when it is attached to the camera. It may damage the lens and camera mount.
Do not leave the lens in direct sunlight as this could cause a fire.
Ensure that the lens is operating properly by testing it on your camera before shooting an important event.
Do not look directly at the sun through a camera with a lens attached as it may damage your eyesight.

Cleaning

It is extremely important before cleaning to dust off the lens surface using a lens blower or a soft brush to remove any foreign particles or grit that could scratch the lens.
Using a clean microfiber lens cloth, gently wipe the lens in a circular motion from the center outwards towards the edges of the glass.
If stubborn spots remain, put only one or two small drops of ethanol or reputable lens cleaner on the microfiber cloth and repeat the circular cleaning process. DO NOT USE AN ORGANIC SOLVENT SUCH AS PAINT THINNER, ALCOHOL, OR BENZENE.

Focusing

Please note: It can be difficult to achieve optimum focus using the unaided eye when focusing on an extremely wide-angle lens such as a 14mm. Check your camera’s instruction book for manual focusing methods and focusing aids including Focus Confirmation and Focus magnification.

Set the Focus Mode of your camera to “MF” (Manual Focus). Adjust the focus by rotating the focusing ring on the lens until the focus confirmation indicator in your view Under confirms focus or the subject looks the sharpest.
Another focusing option is to use the magnifying feature of “Live view”. Utilizing the highest magnification available, adjust the focus by rotating the focusing ring until the image on your LCD screen looks the sharpest.
