ATTACHING THE LENS HOOD
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 mount-
ed 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 it clicks into
place.
The lens hood can be attached or removed with the lens cap
on the camera. To detach the lens hood, turn it 90° counter-
clockwise 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.
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).
