Preparations

Attaching the Lens Hood

• Do not hold the lens hood in such a way that it will be bent.
• Make sure that the camera is turned off.
• Be sure to close the flash beforehand.
1
Align the mounting
mark on the lens
hood a little above the
mounting mark on the
tip of the lens
2
Turn the lens hood in the
direction of the arrow to secure it
3
Turn the lens hood until it clicks
and align the mounting mark on
the lens hood with the mark at the
bottom of the camera
• Make sure the lens hood is secured
properly and its reflection does not fall on
images.
●
When temporarily detaching and carrying the lens hood, we recommend attaching with the
orientation reversed.
Return it to the normal direction when taking pictures.
●
If you attach the lens hood while using the flash, the flash light would be blocked by the lens hood
causing the bottom part of images to be darkened (vignetting) and also making it impossible to
modulate the light. It is recommended to remove the lens hood before using the flash.
