(Siehe Abbildung ) 1 1 2 4 D E ∫ 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: – 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. ˆ How to Retract the Lens Rotate the zoom ring in the direction of arrow 2 from position B (35 mm to 100 mm) to position A to retract the lens. € When you are not recording images, we recommend that you retract the lens. ˆ Attaching Filters • Vignetting may occur if using 2 or more MC protectors (optional: DMW-LMC46), PL filters (optional: DMW-LPL46) or ND filters (optional: DMW-LND46), or if using thick protectors and/or filters. € The filter may become impossible to remove if excessively tightened, so please refrain from tightening it too strongly. € It is possible to attach the lens cap with the filter already attached. € When the lens hood is attached to this lens, you cannot attach a filter to it. € You cannot attach a conversion lens or adaptor to this lens. A filter may be used, but attaching any other element may cause damage to the lens.
