■The Lens Hood
The lens hoods protect the lens and block stray light that would
otherwise cause flare or ghosting.
When attaching or removing the hood, hold it near the symbol on
its base and avoid gripping it too tightly.
Vignetting may occur if the
hood is not correctly attached.
The hood can be reversed and mounted on the lens when not in use.
When the hood is reversed, it can be attached and removed by rotating
it while holding it near the lock mark (

).
■Built-in Flash Units
When using the built-in flash on cameras equipped with a built-in
flash unit, shoot at ranges of 0.6 m (2 ft) or more and remove the lens
hood to prevent vignetting (shadows created where the end of the
lens obscures the built-in flash).
Align the lens hood lock mark (—{) with
the lens hood mounting mark (●) on the
lens (e).
