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).

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 (

{

).

Align the lens hood lock mark (—

{

) with the

lens hood mounting mark (

) on the lens

(e).
