Attaching the lens hood
When you shoot in bright lighting conditions,
such as outdoors, we recommend that you use the
lens hood to reduce the image quality
deterioration caused by unnecessary light.
1 Attach the adaptor ring while the power is
off.
2 Turn the position ring and position the
indicator of the adaptor ring to the
indicator of this camera, as illustrated
below.

3 Turn the lens hood and position the
indicator to the indicator of the position
ring until it clicks. While doing this, hold
and fix the indicator of the adaptor ring to
not turn.
• You can attach the lens cap with the lens hood
attached.
• When using the lens hood, be careful that the
following:
– The AF illuminator light may be blocked.
– The infrared light of Night Shot may be
blocked. (DSC-H9 only)
– The flash light may be blocked, causing the
shadow to appear when using the built-in
flash.
– The Remote sensor may be blocked, and the
Remote Control may not operate correctly.
