Using the Lens Hood and Lens Cap

While recording, the supplied lens hood with lens barrier is effective for reducing stray light that can be the cause of lens flare and ghost images. Additionally, closing the lens barrier can help prevent fingerprints and dirt accumulation on the lens. Use the supplied lens cap when carrying the camcorder or storing it after use.

* Note that the lens cap and the lens hood with lens barrier cannot be used simultaneously.

1 Remove the lens cap.

2 Place the lens hood on the front of the lens so that the groove on the lens hood is aligned with the bottom of the lens (￿), and then turn the lens hood clockwise until it stops with a click (￿).

•Be careful not to deform the lens hood.

•Make sure that the lens hood is aligned with the thread.

•To remove the lens hood, turn it counterclockwise.
