a Safety Precautions  
Do not look at the sun or a bright light source  
through the lens or camera. Doing so could  
result in loss of vision. Looking at the sun directly  
through the lens is especially hazardous.  
Whether it is attached to the camera or not, do  
not leave the lens under the sun without the  
lens cap attached. This is to prevent the lens from  
concentrating the sun’s rays, which could cause a  
fire.  
Handling Cautions  
If the lens is taken from a cold environment i
a warm one, condensation may develoon th
lens surface and internal parts. To prevnt  
condensation in this case, first put the lens ito n  
airtight plastic bag before taking it from a cold to  
warm environment. Then take out the lens after it  
has warmed gradually. Do the same when taking  
the lens from a warm environment into a cold one.  
• Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in  
a car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can  
cause the lens to malfunction.  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for  
help.  
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
