ATTACHING THE LENS HOOD
To mount the lens hood, align the rectangular dimple
on the rim of the hood with the focal-length index on
the top of the lens barrel (1).
Slide the hood onto the end of the lens and turn it
90° clockwise until it clicks and the circular dimple is
aligned with the focal-length index (2).
• When mounted correctly, the large petals of the lens
hood should be to the top and bottom.
• Never force the lens hood. If it does not fit, check its
orientation.
• To detach the lens hood, turn it 90° counterclockwise
and remove.
The lens hood can be reverse mounted when the camera is
not is use.
With one of the large petals to the top, slide the hood onto the
end of the lens. Turn it 90° clockwise until it stops.
• The lens hood can be attached or removed with the lens cap on
the camera.
• To detach the lens hood, turn it 90° counterclockwise and
remove.
The lens hood is used to control stray light from entering the lens and causing flare. When using the
camera under bright light, the use of the lens hood is recommended. The lens hood should not be
used with the built-in flash as it can cause a shadow.
