GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
HANDLING THE PRODUCT
WARNING
1. Never allow water to enter or be spilled on the product. Immediately stop using the product if water
enters the product. Otherwise, a re or electric shock hazard may result.
2. Do not stare at the sun or other source of high-intensity light through the lens. Doing so may result in
injury to your eyes.
CAUTION
1. Do not drop the lens when transporting it or when attaching or detaching it to or from the camera head.
The lens may fall, possibly causing injury.
2. Make sure all mountings are tightened securely. If any of these mountings becomes loose, the lens
may fall, possibly causing injury.
3. Always grasp the connector itself when connecting or disconnecting the lens 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 re or electric shock hazard.
4. Inspect all mountings periodically (about every 6 months to 1 year) to make sure they are securely
tightened, and tighten any loose portions.
Otherwise, the lens may fall, possibly causing injury.
5. If it becomes necessary to repair this product, or to perform any operations or adjustments not men-
tioned in this operation manual, contact Canon’s representative or the dealer who originally supplied
the lens.
※ (NOTE)
1. Protect the lens from strong impacts of shocks. Striking or dropping the lens may result in a malfunc-
tion.
2. This lens is not completely waterproof, so avoid exposing it directly to rain or snow.
When the lens must be used in rain or snow, provisions should be made to prevent the lens from get-
ting 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 into the interior.
4. Do not bring the lens, kept in a very cold ambient temperature, into a warm room, because the lens
may fog on the inside or condensation may occur.
In these cases, the lens cannot be used until these problems clear.
If the lens must be used under such conditions, countermeasures are recommended.
(For instance, before bringing the lens into a warm room, put it in a vinyl bag with an effective desic-
cant, and then bring it into the room. After the temperature acclimatizes to the same level as the room
temperature, take out the lens out of the vinyl bag.)
5. If the lens is to be used in adverse environments, such as in a chemical laden atmosphere, consult
with Canon’s representative beforehand.
