ACCESSORY INFORMATION

This camera is designed to work specifically with lenses, and accessories manufactured and distributed by Minolta. Using incompatible accessories with this camera may result in unsatisfactory performance or damage the camera and accessories.

Lenses

All V-series lenses can be used with this camera.

Lens Hood

Use a lens hood to reduce flare and ensure maximum image quality.

• Remove the lens hood before using the camera’s built-in flash.

To attach a bayonet mount lens hood, fit the lens hood into the bayonet mount on the end of the lens barrel, then turn the lens hood clockwise until it stops.

If your lens and lens hood have guide marks, align the red line on the lens hood with the red line on the lens, then turn the lens hood clockwise until the dot on the lens hood is lined up with the line on the lens.

•To store the lens hood, reverse it, attach it to the lens, then replace the lens cap.
