The Lens Hood
■
The lens hoods protect the lens and block stray light that would
otherwise cause flare or ghosting.
En
When attaching or removing the hood, hold it near the
base and avoid gripping it too tightly. Vignetting may occur if the hood is
not correctly attached.
The hood can be reversed and mounted on the lens when not in use.
When the hood is reversed, it can be attached and removed by rotating it
while holding it near the lock mark (—).
