For safe operation be sure to carefully read the manual

in
a place where they can easily
be
reviewed whenever needed.
In this manual, caution instructions are divided into the
following two categories:
&
WARNING
This indicates instructions which ifnot heeded could
lead to death or serious injury.
&
CAUTION
This indicates instructions which if not heeded could
lead
to
bodily injury or physical damage.
&
WARNING
(1) Do not look directly at the sun through the lens.
Doing so could result
in
blindness.
(2) Do not leave the lens within the reach
of
young
children.
The lens may fall and injure the child, and the strap
may get wrapped around the child's neck, resulting
in
suffocation.
&
CAUTION
(I)
Do not leave the lens
in
places exposed to direct
sunlight.
The light reflected off the lens may focus on a
nearby object, and cause a fire. Place the lens cap
of
the lens whenever it is not
in
use.
(2) When mounting the lens on the camera, make sure
the lens and camera are properly set and securely
locked.
The lens may get stuck ifit is not properly mounted,
and if it
is
not securely locked, it may fall off,
damaging the lens or camera or causing bodily
injury.
(3) Do not modify or alter the lens.
Doing so may result
in
damage to the lens
or
camera.
(4) Mount the lens hood when taking photographs
in
order to eliminate harmful light rays.
* The hood cannot be mounted when certain filters
are installed.
* Remove the hood
if
it causes shadows at the
edges
of
the image when using a flash.
(5) Do not place excessive loads on the lens when
it
is
mounted on the camera. Such loads may damage
the mount section on the lens and the camera. Large
lenses tend to place a strong load on the mount
section. Always hold the lens when operating and
moving the camera.
(6) The focus ring turns during the auto focus
operation. Do not keep the focus ring from turning.
Also, do not forcibly tum the focus ring by hand
when in the auto focus mode.
Doing so may damage the lens or the interior
of
the
camera.
(7) Do not use the lens except for the purpose
of
photographing.
