Product Care
  • When using a lens hood, do not pick up or hold the camera using only the hood.

  • Keep the lens signal contacts clean.

  • Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the glass surfaces of the lens or filter. To remove smudges and fingerprints, apply a small amount of 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. Attach the front and rear caps when the lens is not in use.
    Store the lens and filter in cool, dry locations to prevent mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight or with naphtha or camphor moth balls.

  • Keep the lens dry. Rusting can cause irreparable damage. Wipe off rain and water droplets. Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could cause damage or warping.
