Precautions for Use
･ D
o not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the lens caps or lens hood.
･ Keep the CPU contacts clean.
･ Should the rubber lens-mount gasket be damaged, cease use immediately and take
the lens to a Nikon-authorized service center for repair.
･ Reattach the lens caps when the lens is not in use.
･ Do not leave the lens in humid locations or in locations in which it may be exposed
to moisture. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage.
･ Do not leave the lens next to open ames or in other extremely hot locations.
Extreme heat could damage or warp the lens.
･ Taking the lens from a warm to a cold environment or vice versa may cause
damaging condensation inside and outside the lens. Place the lens in a sealed bag or
plastic case before taking it across a temperature boundary. The lens can be taken
from the bag or case once it has had time to adjust to the new temperature.
･ We recommend that you place the lens in its case to protect it from scratches during
transport.
･ Keep credit cards and other such magnetic storage devices away from the camera
and lens. Data stored on the device could be corrupted.
･ This lens uses SR glass for the front lens.
Compared to other types of glass, SR glass has characteristics such as susceptibility
to sudden temperature changes and prone to damage due to the softness of the
lens, so please handle it with care.
