Attaching The Lens Hood (Dmc-Fz200) - Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ60 Operating Instructions For Advanced Features

Attaching the Lens Hood (DMC-FZ200)

In bright sunlight or backlight, the lens hood will minimise lens flare and ghosting. The lens
hood cuts off excess lighting and improves the picture quality.
•
Check that the camera is turned off.
•
Close the flash.
1
Attach the lens hood into the lens with the short side
aligned with the bottom of the main unit.
•
Do not hold the lens hood in a way that twists or bends it.
2
Rotate the lens hood in the
direction of the arrow.
3
You will feel some stiffness just before the mark, but
continue to rotate the lens hood to A where the marks
align.
(The lens hood will stop with a "click".)
•
Check that the lens hood is firmly attached and that it does not
appear in the picture.
Note
•
When taking pictures with flash with the lens hood attached, the lower portion of the photo may turn
dark (vignetting effect) and the control of the flash may be disabled because the photo flash may be
obscured by the lens hood. We recommend detaching the lens hood.
•
When temporarily detaching and carrying the lens hood, attach the lens hood
to the lens in the reverse direction. Return it to the normal direction when
taking pictures.
