Before Using

Please read this instruction manual and familiarize yourself with the functions of the lens, the operating method, and cautions for handling the product correctly prior to use. Also refer to the instruction manual of the camera you are using with the lens.
The supported functions of this product may vary according to the camera model.
For detailed information regarding compatibility, visit the certified service center or make inquiries on the message board of our homepage.

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

Do not look at the sun or other strong light through the lens or camera. Doing so may cause blindness.
Do not store the lens without a lens cap in a location with direct sunlight, such as inside a vehicle. Direct sunlight passing through the lens may be concentrated, causing a fire.
Keep the lens out of the reach of children. Failure to do so may cause an accident or personal injury.
In order to use the lens safely, attach or detach the lens while the camera IS turned off.
Be careful not to touch or contaminate the contact point on the mount. If electronic signals are not transmitted between the camera and the lens smoothly, a malfunction may occur.
Do not apply excessive force to the lens when attached to the camera. Doing so may cause damage to the lens and/or camera mounts.
It is recommended to use a strong tripod. If a weak tripod is used, the tripod may fall, damaging the camera and/or the lens.
If the lens is placed in a hot location, damage or distortion may occur, resulting in performance problems.
Avoid using the lens in a location with drastic temperature changes. In particular, if you move a lens that has been chilled in a cold location to a warm location, moisture in the air may be concentrated outside or inside the lens, causing a failure or the production of mold. In such a case, keep the lens ina plastic bag or an exclusive camera bag and take it out when the temperature of the lens becomes similar to the peripheral temperature.
If the lens is wet or if you use the lens with wet hands, product failure, fire, or electric shock may occur.
Avoid direct sunlight, and do not store the lens near naphthalene or mothballs.
Take care not to get the lens wet with water or other liquids, and store the lens in a dry place with ventilation.

Cleaning

It is extremely important before cleaning to dust off the lens surface using a lens blower ora soft brush to remove any foreign particles or grit that could scratch the lens.
For stubborn spots, use only one or two small drops of a reputable lens cleaner on a microfiber cloth, and gently wipe the lens in a circular motion.
DO NOT USE AN ORGANIC SOLVENT SUCH AS PAINT THINNER, ALCOHOL, OR BENZENE.

Attaching/Detaching the Lens

Align the index mark on the lens barrel with the index mark on the lens mount of the camera.
Do not press the lens release button on the camera when mounting the lens.
Insert the lens into the camera mount and rotate it clockwise until it’clicks and locks into place. Do not insert the lens at an angle.

To detach the lens, first attach the front lens cap.
While holding down the lens release button on the camera body rotate the lens counterclockwise until it stops, and separate the lens from the body.
Attach the rear lens cap.

Lens Hood

The hood blocks unnecessary light and protects the front surface of the lens from rain, snow, and dust.
Align the mount posițion index indicated on the hood with the hood index (white) indicated on the lens, and rotate the hood clockwise until a clicking sound occurs. The hood is now fixed.
You can store the hood by mounting it on the lens in the opposite direction.
Caution: Improper mounting of the hood hides the lens angle and causes vignetting.

If two or more filters are mounted at the same time, vignetting may occur.
Check if the filter size is compatible with the lens (refer to “Product specifications”) and then mount it at the front of the lens.
