obscured by the lens or lens hood. Remove the lens hood before shoot-
ing. Note, however, that depending on the distance to the subject, and
in the case of zoom lenses also on the lens focal length, shadows may
appear even when the lens hood is removed.

Precautions for UsePrecautions for Use
• Do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the lens caps or
lens hood.
• Keep the CPU contacts clean.
• Should the rubber lens-mount gasket be damaged, cease use immedi-
ately and take the lens to a Nikon-authorized service center for repair.
• Reattach the lens caps when the lens is not in use.
• Do not leave the lens in humid locations or in locations in which it may
be exposed to moisture. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause
irreparable damage.
• Do not leave the lens next to open flames or in other extremely hot
locations. Extreme heat could damage or warp the lens.
• Taking the lens from a warm to a cold environment or vice versa may
cause damaging condensation inside and outside the lens. Place the
lens in a sealed bag or plastic case before taking it across a tempera-
ture boundary. The lens can be taken from the bag or case once it has
had time to adjust to the new temperature.
• We recommend that you place the lens in its case to protect it from
scratches during transport.

Lens MaintenanceLens Maintenance
• Removing dust is normally sufficient to clean the glass surfaces of the
lens.
• Smudges, fingerprints, and other oily stains can be removed using
a soft, clean cotton cloth or third-party lens cleaning tissue lightly
dampened with a small amount of ethanol or third-party lens cleaner;
clean from the center outwards in a circular motion. Be sure to clean
evenly and thoroughly without leaving smears.
• Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean
the lens.
• Neutral Color (NC) filters (available separately) and the like can be used
to protect the front lens element.
• Do not store the lens in direct sunlight or with naphtha or camphor
moth balls. If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it
in a cool, dry location to prevent mold and rust.
