Preparation
Attaching the Lens Hood
When recording into strong backlight, irregular reflection may occur within the lens.
Attaching the lens hood will reduce unwanted reflections and improve contrast.
•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.

the camera
Rotate the lens hood until the index points are aligned.
•Make sure the lens hood is secured properly and
its reflection does not fall on images.
