[. . . ] Sunlight focused into the camera when the sun is in or close to the frame could cause a fire. - If the lens will not be used for an extended period, attach the front and rear lens caps and store the lens out of direct sunlight. If left in direct sunlight, the lens could focus the sun’s rays onto flammable objects, causing fire. [. . . ] Select NORMAL to reduce the effects of vibration when photographing from a fixed position and in other situations with comparatively little camera motion. Select ACTIVE to reduce the effects of vibration when shooting from a moving vehicle, while walking, and in other situations with active camera motion. 16 Using Vibration Reduction: Notes • Slide the vibration reduction switch to OFF if the camera does not support vibration reduction (pg. Leaving vibration reduction on may greatly increase the drain on the battery, particularly in the case of Pronea 600i/6i cameras. € When using vibration reduction, press the shutter-release button halfway and wait for the image in the viewfinder to stabilize before pressing the shutter-release button the rest of the way down. € When vibration reduction is active, the image in the viewfinder may be blurred after the shutter is released. € Slide the vibration reduction mode switch to NORMAL for panning shots. When the camera is panned, vibration reduction applies only to motion that is not part of the pan (if the camera is panned horizontally, for example, vibration reduction will be applied only to vertical shake), making it much easier to pan the camera smoothly in a wide arc. € Do not turn the camera off or remove the lens while vibration reduction is in effect. If power to the lens is cut while vibration reduction is on, the lens may rattle when shaken. This is not a malfunction, and can be corrected by reattaching the lens and turning the camera on. € If the camera is equipped with a built-in flash, vibration reduction will be disabled while the flash charges. € Turn vibration reduction off when the camera is securely mounted on a tripod, but leave it on if the tripod head is not secured or when using a monopod.

Align the lens hood lock mark (—¡) with the lens hood mounting mark (●) on the lens (e). When attaching or removing the hood, hold it near the symbol on its base and avoid gripping it too tightly. When the hood is reversed, it can be attached and removed by rotating it while holding it near the lock mark (—¡). – Focusing Screens 18 The following cameras support a variety of focusing screens for use in different situations. [. . . ] € If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry location to prevent mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight or with naphtha or camphor moth balls. € Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts made from reinforced plastic. [. . . ]
