Precautions
G Master Optical System Protection
XA super aspherical elements are precision optical components, avoid strong impacts and vibrations
Must use dedicated lens paper during cleaning, avoid scratching special coatings
Fluorine coating front element has self-cleaning effects, avoid over-cleaning
Immediate cessation and inspection required upon discovering internal lens fogging or dust
Wide-Angle Shooting Technical Precautions
16mm wide-angle end prone to corner darkening, recommend appropriate aperture stopping down for improvement
Wide-angle distortion is corrected but close-distance shooting still requires attention to compositional distortion
Pay attention to uneven polarization phenomena under wide-angle when using CPL polarizing filters
Recommend using lens hood during backlit shooting to reduce flare effects
Focus System Operation Management
Avoid manual rotation of focus ring during Direct Drive SSM focus motor operation
Floating focus system is precision mechanism, require gentle smooth operation
Minimum focus distance 0.28m, avoid forced advancement causing focus mechanism damage
Immediate manual focus switching required upon focus abnormalities to avoid motor overload
Protection Sealing System Maintenance
Dust and moisture resistant design doesn't equal complete waterproofing, avoid direct rainwater contact
Check sealing rubber integrity after usage, immediate replacement required upon discovering damage
Keep lens mount area clean, avoid dust affecting sealing effectiveness
