About Condensation (Fogging of the  
Lens)  
Condensation occurs when there are differences  
in temperature and humidity as described below.  
Condensation can cause the lens to become dirty  
and lead to mold and malfunctioning, so exercise  
caution in the following situations:  
Precautions  
Lens Care  
Sand and dust can damage the lens. Make  
sure that no sand or dust gets inside the lens  
or the terminals when using the lens on a  
beach, etc.  
This lens is not waterproof. If drops of water  
get onto the lens, wipe the lens with a dry  
cloth.  
– When the camera is brought indoors from outside  
during cold weather  
– When the camera is brought into an air-  
conditioned car  
– When cold air from an air conditioner is directly  
blown onto the lens  
– In humid places  
Put the camera into a plastic bag to allow it to  
acclimatize to the surrounding temperature in  
order to prevent condensation. If condensation  
occurs, turn the power off and leave it for about  
two hours. Once the camera acclimatizes to the  
surrounding temperature the condensation will go  
away naturally.  
Do not press the lens with excessive force.  
When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.)  
on the surface of the lens, the picture may be  
affected. Lightly wipe the surface of the lens with a  
soft, dry cloth before and after taking pictures.  
Do not place the lens mount facing downwards.  
Do not allow the lens contact point 1 to become  
dirty.

the flash with the lens hood  
attached, the lower portion  
Lens  
of the screen may turn dark

detach the lens hood.  
Attaching Filters  
Vignetting may occur if using 2 or more

Cautions for Use  
About the Lens  
Take care not to drop or knock the lens. Also  
take care not to put a lot of pressure on the lens.  
Note  
When flash recording with a close subject, the  
light of the flash will be blocked by the lens and  
part of the picture may be dark. Check the  
distance from the subject when recording.  
Take care not to drop the bag that you inserted the  
lens in as it may damage the lens. The camera may  
stop operating normally and pictures may no longer  
be recorded.  
When using pesticides and other volatile  
substances around the camera make sure that  
they do not get onto the lens.  
If such substances get onto the lens they can  
damage the exterior case or cause the paint to peel.  
Do not carry the unit when it is still attached to  
the camera body.  
Under no circumstances should the unit be stored  
in any of the following locations since doing so may  
cause problems in operation or malfunctioning.  
– In direct sunlight or on a beach in summer  
– In locations with high temperatures and humidity  
levels or where the changes in temperature and  
humidity are acute  
– In locations with high concentrations of sand,  
dust or dirt  
– Where there is fire

– Inside a vehicle  
Refer also to the operating instructions of the  
digital camera.  
Troubleshooting

or off.  
This is the sound of lens or aperture movement  
and is not a malfunction.

> When older Panasonic digital cameras (DMC-  
GF1, DMC-GH1, DMC-G1) are used,  
When the unit is not going to be used for a
