15
of
the FCC rules.

to the
following
two

Notes on Use
•
Do not
leave the lens
exposed
to the
sun or a bright
light
source.
Internal
malfunction of
the
camera body
and
lens,
smoke, or a
fire
may result
due to the
effect
of
light focusing. If
circumstances
necessitate leaving
the lens
in sunlight, be sure
to
attach
the lens
caps.
•
When shooting against
the
sun, keep
the
sun
completely out of
the
angle of view. Otherwise, solar
rays may be
concentrated at a
focal point inside
the
camera, causing smoke or a
fire.
Keeping
the
sun slightly out of
the
angle of view
may
also cause
smoke or a
fire.
•
When carrying a camera with
the lens
attached,
always
firmly hold both the
camera and
the lens.
•
When
the lens
cap(s)
is
attached
to the lens,
grasp
the
lens body, not the lens
cap,
to
carry a camera with
the
lens
or
the lens
alone.
• This lens is not
water-proof, although designed with
dust-proofness and splash-proofness
in mind. If using
in the rain
etc.,
keep
water
drops
away
from the lens.
• No filters
can be attached
to the
end of
the lens.
• If the lens
alone
is
shaken or
if
a camera with
the lens
attached
is
shaken while
the
camera
is turned
off,
an
internal
component of
the lens
may
rattle. This,
however,
does
not indicate
a
malfunction.
In
addition, while you carry around
the lens,
your
movement may
cause
the internal lens
groups
to
shake.
This, however, does not
affect
the performance
of
the lens
groups.
Precautions on using a flash
•
With certain combinations of
lens
and
flash, the lens
may
partially
block the light
of
the flash, resulting in
a
shadow at
the bottom
of
the
picture.
In
such a case,
adjust
the
shooting distance before shooting.
Vignetting
•
When using
the lens, the
corners of
the
screen
become
darker than the
center.
To reduce this
phenomena (called vignetting), close
the
aperture
by
1 to
2 stops.
