■Using the lens hood
Attaching the hood
Align the lens hood attachment index ( , either of two indexes) 3 on the hood with the lens hood mounting index 4 on the lens, and turn the hood counterclockwise (as viewed when holding the camera with the lens facing away from you) until it clicks into place (Fig. B).
•Be sure that the lens hood mounting index is aligned with the lens hood setting index ( ) 2.
•If the lens hood is not correctly attached, vignetting may occur.
•To facilitate attachment or removal of the hood, hold it by the base (near the lens hood attachment index) rather than its outer edge.
•To store the lens hood, attach it in the reverse position.
Detaching the hood
Hold the lens hood by the base (near the lens hood attachment index) and turn clockwise, as viewed when holding the camera with the lens facing away from you, to detach.
