Attaching the Lens Hood
•Avoid mechanical pressure on the lens hood that might cause
deformation.
•Make sure that the camera is turned off.
•Fold in the flash unit before attaching the lens hood.
1 Align the index point on the lens hood with the
index point on the lens with a slight offset as
shown in the illustration
Index point on the lens
Alignment point on the lens hood
2 Turn the lens hood in clockwise direction
3 Keep turning the lens hood (there will be a little
resistance at the locking point) until it audibly clicks
into place. Make sure the index point on the lens hood is
aligned with the index point on the camera
Rotate until the index points are aligned
•Make sure the lens hood is secured properly and its reflection does
not fall on images.
●
Attaching the lens hood with the flash unit in use would impede the light of the flash and cause
parts of the image taken to be darker than the rest (vignetting). We therefore recommend
removing the lens hood before using the flash.
