[. . . ] continued operation could result in injury. After removing or disconnecting the power source, take the product to a Nikon-authorized service representative for inspection. Do not look at the sun through the lens or viewfinder Viewing the sun or other strong light sources through the lens or viewfinder could cause permanent visual impairment. No reproduction in any form of this manual, in whole or in part (except for brief quotation in critical articles or reviews), may be made without written authorization from NIKON CORPORATION. [. . . ] Keep out of reach of children Particular care should be taken to prevent infants from putting the batteries or other small parts into their mouths. Observe the following precautions when handling the camera and lens Keep the camera and lens unit dry. Do not handle or touch the camera or lens unit with wet hands. When shooting with back-lighting, do not point the lens at the sun or allow sunlight to pass directly down the lens as this may cause the camera to overheat and possibly cause a fire. When the lens will not be used for an extended period of time, attach both front and rear lens caps and store the lens away from direct sunlight. Failure to do so could result in a fire, as the lens may focus sunlight onto a flammable object. This lens employs a Silent Wave Motor to drive the focusing mechanism, making autofocusing smooth, silent and almost instantaneous. More accurate exposure control is possible because subject distance information is transferred from the lens to the camera body. The use of one aspherical and one ED (extra-low dispersion) lens elements ensures sharp pictures virtually free of color fringing. Also, by utilizing a 7-blade diaphragm that produces a nearly circular aperture, out-of-focus images in front of or behind the subject are rendered as pleasing blurs. To protect the front lens element, an NC filter is available. A lens hood 1 also helps protect the front of the lens. When storing the lens in its flexible lens pouch, attach both the front and rear lens caps. The lens can also be stored when the lens hood 1 is attached in the reverse position. Do not hold the lens hood 1 while the lens is attached to a camera. When the lens will not be used for a long time, store it in a cool, dry place to prevent mold. Do not get water on the lens or drop it in water as this will cause it to rust and malfunction. Reinforced plastic is used for certain parts of the lens. Attachment Ring SX-1 Other accessories might not be suitable for use with this lens.
