Precautions

Handling of the lens

When using this lens, take care not to drop, bump, or apply undue force to it. Doing so may cause malfunction or damage to this lens and the digital camera.

• Images may be affected by dust, dirt, and soiling (water, oil, fingerprints, etc.) on the lens surface. Before and after recording, use a blower to blow off dust and dirt from the surface of the lens, then lightly wipe with a soft dry cloth to remove soiling.
• When the lens is not in use, be sure to attach the lens cap and lens rear cap to prevent dust and other particles from accumulating on or entering the lens.
• To protect the lens contact points(A), do not do the following. These may cause malfunction.
  
  • Touch the lens contact points.
  • Allow the lens contact points to become dirty.
  • Place the lens with its mount surface facing down.

Dust and splash-resistant

• Splash-resistant and dust-resistant are terms used to describe an extra level of protection this lens offers against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture, water, or dust. These terms do not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with water or dust infiltration.
  Take the following precautions to provide satisfactory dust and splash-resistant performance. If the lens is not working properly, consult the dealer or Panasonic.
  • Attach to a digital camera that is dust and splash-resistant.
  • When attaching or removing the lens, be careful so that foreign objects such as sand, dust, and water droplets do not adhere to or enter the lens mount rubber, contact points, digital camera, and lens.
  • If the lens is exposed to water droplets or other liquids, wipe them off with a soft, dry cloth.
• To improve the dust and splash-resistant performance of the lens, a lens mount rubber is used in the mount.
  
  • The lens mount rubber will leave scuff marks on the digital camera mount, but this does not impact performance.
  • For information on changing the lens mount rubber, contact Panasonic.

Condensation (when the lens is fogged up)

• Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes. Please be careful, as it may cause lens stains, mold, and malfunction.
• If condensation occurs, turn off the digital camera and leave it for approx. 2 hours. The fog will disappear naturally when the temperature of the digital camera becomes close to the ambient temperature.

• Attach the lens after turning off the digital camera.
• Attach the lens after removing the lens rear cap.
• After removing the lens from the digital camera, be sure to attach the lens cap and lens rear cap to prevent dust and other particles from accumulating on or entering the lens.

Attaching the lens hood

Hold the lens hood with your fingers placed as shown in the picture.

Do not hold the lens hood in a way that twists or bends it.

1. Align mark A () on the lens hood with the mark on the tip of the lens.

Note: When carrying, the lens hood can be attached in the reverse direction.

1. Align mark B() on the lens hood with the mark on the tip of the lens.

• It is recommended to remove the lens hood during flash photography as the lens hood can block the light from the flash.
• To prevent the dropping of the lens, you should never carry the lens by just holding the lens hood.

Notes on filter use

• It is possible to attach the lens cap or the lens hood with the filter already attached.
• There may be some vignetting in recorded images if multiple filters are attached simultaneously.
• It is not possible to attach any items other than filters such as a conversion lens or adaptor to the front of the lens and use it in combination with this lens.
  Lens damage may result if such items are attached.

Cautions for Use

• Do not spray the lens with insecticides or volatile chemicals.
  
  • If such substances get onto the lens they can damage the exterior case or cause the paint to peel.
• Do not point the lens at the sun or other strong light sources.
  
  • This may cause the lens to collect an excessive amount of light, resulting in fire and malfunction.
• Do not use it while directly touching the lens at low temperatures for a long period of time.
  
  • In cold places (environments below O °C (32 °F), such as ski slopes), prolonged direct contact with the lens may cause skin injury. Use gloves or similar when using the lens for long periods.
• When cleaning, wipe lightly using a soft dry cloth that does not produce dust.
  
  • Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinners, alcohol, kitchen cleansers, etc., as this can cause problems such as deformation of the casing or peeling of the coating.
  • Do not use wipes with chemicals.
• Do not keep products made of rubber, PVC, or similar materials in contact with the lens for a long period of time.
• Do not disassemble or alter this product.
• When the lens is not going to be used for a prolonged period, we recommend storing it with a desiccant (silica gel).
• Check all the parts before recording when you have not used the lens for a long period of time.
• Avoid using or storing the lens in any of the following locations as this may cause problems in operation or malfunctioning:
  
  • In direct sunlight or on a beach in summer
  • In locations with high temperatures and humidity levels or severe changes in temperature and humidity
  • In sandy or dusty locations
  • Where there is fire
  • Near heaters, air conditioners, or humidifiers
  • Where water may make the lens wet
  • Where there is vibration
  • Inside a vehicle
• Refer also to the operating instructions for the digital camera.

Troubleshooting

A rattling sound, etc. is heard when the digital camera is turned on or off or the lens is shaken. There is a sound from the lens when taking pictures.

• This is the sound of the internal lenses moving or the aperture operating. It is not a malfunction.
