The Lens Hood

The lens hoods protect the lens and block stray light that would

otherwise cause flare or ghosting.

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 (

{

).

Built-in Flash Units

When using the built-in flash on cameras equipped with a built-in

flash unit, shoot at ranges of 0.6 m (2 ft) or more and remove the lens

hood to prevent vignetting (shadows created where the end of the

lens obscures the built-in flash).

Align the lens hood lock mark (—

{

) with

the lens hood mounting mark () on the
lens (
e).
