•
The
optical
design
for
Oi
II
takes
into
consideration
the
various
features
of
digital
single
reflex
cameras.
However,
due
to
the
configuration
of
the
digital
single
reflex
cameras,
even
when
the
autofocus
accuracy
is
within
specifi-cations,
the
focal
point
may
be
alillie
forward
or
behind
the
optimum
point
when
shooting
with
auto
focus
under
some
conditions.
•
When
photographing
near
the
minimum
focusing
distance
it
is
advisable
to
shoot
at
higher
f/munbers
to
obtain
sharper
image
quality.
•
The
image
circles
of
Di
II
lenses
are
designed
to
match
the
digital
SLR
cameras
using
the
image
sensors
equivalent
to
APS-C
(approx.
15.5
x
23.2mm).
Do
not
use
Oi
II
lenses
with
cameras
using
image
sensors
larger
than
APS-C.
Using
Oi
II
lenses
with
such
cameras
may
cause
vignetting
on
the
image.
•
(A
14)
employ
an
internal
focusing
(iF)
system.
Because
of
the
characteristics
of
this
optical
design,
the
angles
of
view
at
distances
other
than
infinity
are
wider
than
that
of
the
lenses
applying
an
ordinary
focusing
system.
•
When
the
built-in
flash
on
the
camera
is
used,
adverse
photographic
phenomena
such
as
corner
illumination
fall-off
or
vignelling
at
the
bollom
part
of
the
image
may
be
observed,
especially
in
wide
angle
ranges.
This
is
due
to
the
inherent
limitation
of
the
coverage
of
the
built-in
flash,and/or
the
relative
position
of
the
flash
to
the
edge
of
the
lens
barrel
which
causes
shadows
on
the
image.
It
is
strongly
recommended
to
use
a
suitable
separate
flash
unit
provided
by
the
camera
manufacturer
for
all
flash
photography.
For
further
details,
please
read
the
"built-in
flash"
article
on
the
instruction
manual
of
your
camera.
•
When
using
the
lens
in
the
telephoto
focal
range,
please
be
careful
with
the
camera
shake.
Effective
way
to
avoid
the
camera
shake
is
using
an
ISO
selling
of
higher
numbers.
Using
a
tripod
or
monopod
is
also
effective.
•
When
set
on
AF
mode,
interfering
with
focusing
ring
may
cause
serious
damage
to
the
lens
mechanism.
•
Certain
camera
models
may
indicate
the
maximum
and
minimum
aperture
values
of
the
lens
appropriate
numbers.
This
is
inherent
to
the
design
of
the
camera
and
not
an
indication
of
an
error.

Avoid
touching
the
glass
element
surface.
Use
a
photographic
lens
cloth
or
blower
to
remove
dust
from
the
lens
element
surtace.
When
not
using
the
lens,
always
place
a
lens
cap
on
it
for
protection.
•
Use
a
lens
cleaning
tissue
or
lint
cloth
with
a
drop
of
cleaning
solution
to
remove
fingerprints
or
dirt
on
the
glass
lens
surface
with
a
rotary
motion
from
the
center
to
the
edge.
•
Use
a
silicon
cloth
to
clean
your
lens
barrel
only.
•
Mildew
is
an
enemy
of
your
lens.
Clean
the
lens
after
shooting
near
water
or
in
any
humid
place.
Store
your
lens
in
a
clean,
cool
and
dry
place
When
storing
the
lens
in
an
lens
case,
store
it
with
commercially
available
drying
agent
such
as
silicagel,
and
change
the
agent
occasionally.
If
you
find
mildew
on
your
lens,
consult
an
authorized
repair
shop
or
nearby
photo-graphic
store.
•
Do
not
touch
the
lens-camera
interface
contacts
since
dust,
dirt
and/or
stains
may
cause
a
contact
failure
between
the
lens
and
camera.
•
When
using
your
equipment
[camera(s)
and
iens(es)]
in
an
environment
where
the
temperature
changes
from
one
extreme
to
the
other,
make
sure
to
put
your
equipment
temporarily
in
a
case
or
a
plastic
bag
for
a
length
of
time
in
order
for
the
equipment
to
go
through
a
gradual
temperature
shift.
This
will
reduce
potential
equipment
trouble.
