Lens care
• Be careful not to allow the CPU contacts 0 to
become dirty or damaged.
• If the lens mount rubber gasket 9 is damaged,
be sure to visit the nearest Nikon-authorized
service representative for repair.
• Clean lens surfaces with a blower brush. To remove
dirt and smudges, use a soft, clean cotton cloth or
lens tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or lens
cleaner. Wipe in a circular motion from the center
to outer edge, taking care not to leave traces or
touch other parts of the lens.
• Never use organic solvent such as thinner or
benzene to clean the lens.
• NC filters are available to protect the front lens
element. The lens hood also helps to protect the
front of the lens.
• When storing the lens in its flexible lens pouch,
attach both the front and rear lens caps.
• When the lens is mounted on a camera, do not
pick up or hold the camera and lens by the lens
hood.
• When the lens will not be used for an extended
period of time, store it in a cool, dry place to
prevent mold and rust. Be sure to store the lens
away from direct sunlight or chemicals such as
camphor or naphthalene.
• Do not get water on the lens or drop it in water
as this will cause it to rust and malfunction.
• Reinforced plastic is used for certain parts of the
lens. To avoid damage, never leave the lens in an
excessively hot place.
