HANDLING THE PRODUCT
WARNING
1. Never allow water or other liquids to enter or be spilled on
the product. Immediately stop using the product if water
or other liquids get inside the product. Otherwise, fire or
electric shock could result.
2. Do not stare at the sun or any other source of high-
intensity light through the lens. Doing so could injure your
eyes.
CAUTION
1. Always grasp the specified portions of the lens when
transporting the lens, or when attaching or detaching it to
or from the camera head.
Otherwise, the lens may fall, possibly causing injury.
2. All mountings must be tightened securely. If any of the
mountings become loose, the lens may fall, possibly
causing injury.
3. Always grasp the connector itself when connecting
or disconnecting the demand cable. Pulling on the
cable portion may result in damage to the cable, such
as breakage of the conductors. Power leaking from a
damaged cable may present a fire or electric shock
hazard.

year) that all mountings are securely tightened. If any of
the mountings become loose, the lens may fall, possibly
causing injury.

5. If it becomes necessary to repair this product, or to
perform any operations or adjustments not mentioned in
this operation manual, contact Canon's representative or
the dealer who originally supplied the lens.
6. When this product is used in direct sunlight, the inside
of the unit may be heated to high temperatures. When
it is expected that the unit is exposed to elevated
temperatures, take measures against heat as appropriate
on the customer's side.
* (NOTE)
1. Protect the lens from strong impacts of shocks. Striking
or dropping the lens could damage it.
2. Since the lens is not completely waterproof, avoid directly
exposing the lens to rain or snow. When the lens has to
be used in rain or snow, provisions should be made to
prevent the lens from getting wet.
3. Under dusty conditions, the lens should be mounted or
dismounted with a cover placed over the mount so as to
prevent dust from entering the inside.
4. Do not bring the lens from an area with a very cold
ambient temperature abruptly into a warm room, as the
lens may fog on the inside. If this happens, the lens
cannot be used until the condensation clears. Take
adequate countermeasures to ensure that condensation
does not form.
5. If the lens is to be used in adverse environments, such
as in a chemical laden atmosphere, consult with Canon's
representative beforehand.
