prolonged period, we recommend storing with a
desiccant (silica gel). Failure to do so may result in
performance failure caused by mold, etc. It is
recommended that you check the unit's operation
prior to use.
≥ Do not leave the lens in contact with rubber or
plastic products for extended periods of time.

cause failure of the unit.

Do not use benzine, thinner, alcohol or other
similar cleaning agents to clean the lens glass or
exterior cabinet.

Troubleshooting
A sound is heard when the camera is turned on
or off.
≥ This is the sound of lens or aperture movement
and is not a malfunction.
A sound is heard when the lens is shaken.
≥ The OIS system in this lens will create some
rattling noise when the camera is moved while
switched OFF, this is not a malfunction. The noise
will disappear when the camera is switched ON
and the OIS is engaged.
