Attaching the Lens Hood
When shooting backlit scenes without a flash with the lens set to a
wide angle, you should attach the lens hood to prevent light outside
the scene from coming into the lens. Be sure to turn off the camera
before you attach the lens hood.
Lens Hood
If you use the built-in flash when the lens hood is attached, a
portion of the image appears to be blocked by the lens hood and
appears dark.
Attaching the Filter Adapter
If you wish to attach a commercially available filter (58 mm
diameter), attach the filter adapter in advance. Be sure to turn off the
camera before you attach the filter adapter.
Filter Adapter
The filter adapter is exclusively for use with a filter. If you wish to
attach Close-up Lens 500D (sold separately) to the camera, use
Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC58C (sold separately) (p. 177).
Attaching more than one filter at the same time may cause dark
shadows on the image depending on the zoom position.
