D Lens Care
• Keep the CPU contacts clean.
• Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces.
To remove smudges and
fingerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol or lens cleaner to a soft, clean cotton cloth
or lens-cleaning tissue and clean from the center outwards using a circular motion, taking
care not to leave smears or touch the glass with your fingers.
• Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the lens.
• The lens hood or NC filters can be used to protect the front lens element.
• Attach the front and rear caps before placing the lens in its flexible pouch.
• When a lens hood is attached, do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the
hood.
• If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry location to prevent
mold and rust.
Do not store in direct sunlight or with naphtha or camphor moth balls.
• Keep the lens dry.
Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage.
• Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts made from
reinforced plastic.
