How to Use / Care Instructions

To get the most out of your telephoto lens, engage the Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) when shooting handheld, especially at the 400mm end of the zoom range. While the lens is heavily weather-resistant, always wipe down the barrel with a clean, dry microfibre cloth after shooting in dusty, sandy, or wet environments. The fluorine-coated front element can be easily cleaned with a gentle lens wipe, but using a high-quality protective UV filter is recommended for additional peace of mind in the field.
