The Lens Hood

The lens hoods protect the lens and block stray light that would
otherwise cause flare or ghosting.

Align the lens hood lock mark (—) with the
lens hood mounting mark (
) on the lens (e).

When attaching or removing the hood, hold it near the symbol on its
base and avoid gripping it too tightly. Vignetting may occur if the hood is
not correctly attached.
The hood can be reversed and mounted on the lens when not in use.
When the hood is reversed, it can be attached and removed by rotating it
while holding it near the lock mark (—).

selected even when the value for exposure compensation is 0.

Setting 18; see the camera manual for details.
