Attaching The Lens Hood - Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1K Operating Instructions Manual

Preparation

Attaching the Lens Hood

In bright sunlight or backlight, the lens hood will minimize 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.
Insert the lens hood into the lens
with the short sides at the top
and bottom, and turn in the
direction of the arrow until it
stops.
A Fitting to the mark.
∫ Temporarily storing the lens hood
1
Turn the lens hood in the direction of the arrow to
detach it.
2
Reverse the lens hood and then attach it in the
same way as shown previously.
• Attach the lens cap.
• When temporarily storing the lens hood, check that it is
firmly attached and that it does not appear in the picture.
Note
• Hold the short sides of the flower shaped lens hood when attaching or detaching it.
• 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 using the AF assist lamp in the dark, detach the lens hood.
