with
part
15
of
the
FCC
rules.
Operation
is
subject
to
the
following
two
conditions:
(1)
This device
may

Notes on Use
•
Do
not
lea
ve
the lens exposed
to
the sun
or
a bright
light source. Internal malfunction
of
the camera body
and lens, smoke,
or
a fire may result due to the effect
of
light focusing.
If
circumstances necessitate leaving
the lens
in
sunlight,
be
sure
to
attach the lens caps.
• When shooting against the sun, keep the sun
completely
out
of
the angle
of
v
ie
w. Otherwise, solar
rays
may be concentrated at a focal point inside
the camera, causing smoke
or
a fire. Keeping the
sun slightly out
of
the angle
of
view may also cause
smoke or a fire.
• When carrying a camera with the lens attached,
always firmly hold both the camera and the lens.
•
Do
not
hold by the part
of
the lens that protrudes
when zooming.
• This lens
is
not wa
ter-proof
, although designed with
dust-proofness and splash-proofness in mind. If using
in
the rain etc., keep wa
ter
drops away from the lens.
• If the lens alone
is
shaken or
if
a camera with the lens
attached
is
shaken while the camera
is
turned off,
an
internal component
of
the lens may rattle. This,
however, does
not
indicate a malfunction.
In
addition, whi
le
you carry around the lens, your
movement may cause the internal lens groups
to
shake. This , however, does
not
affect the performance
of
the lens groups.
Precautions on using a flash
• When using a flash, shoot at least 1 m
(3.3
feet) away
from your subject.
• With certain combinations
of
lens and flash , the lens
may partially block the light
of
the flash, resulting
in
a shadow at the
bottom
of
the picture.
In
such a
case,
adjust the focal length
or
the shooting distance
before shooting.
Vignetting
• When using the lens, the corners
of
the screen
become darker than the center.
To
reduce this
phenomena
(ca
lled vignetting), close the aperture by
1
to
2 stops.

the
focal-length scale range
IAJ,
images may not
be
shot
correctly.
• Depending on the camera
in
use, no warning appears
on the rear
monitor/finder
even though the image
is
shot when the focal-length index
is

case,
the consequences are
as
follows :
-
The

is
located outside
of
the focal-
length scale range,
"(Re
tract
)"
or
"FO"
is
appended
at the end
of
the lens name.
I!] Zooming
Rotate the zooming ring to extend the
lens to the desired focal length (zooming
position) within the focal-length scale range.
