Preparation

Attaching the Lens Hood/Lens Cap

Preparation

Check that the camera is turned off and that the lens is retracted.

Close the flash.

ªLens Hood

11 Detach the lens ring.

2 Attach the lens hood.

In bright sunlight or when there is backlight, the lens hood will minimize lens flare and ghosting.

The lens hood cuts off excess lighting and improves the picture quality.

When detaching the lens hood, refer to P118.

ªWhen attaching the lens hood

When taking pictures with flash, photo flash is interrupted by the lens hood and the bottom of the screen becomes dark. (vignetting effect)

When taking pictures with flash, we recommend detaching the lens hood.

ªLens Cap

1Attach the lens cap.

• Be careful not to lose the lens cap.

ªWhen attaching the lens cap

When you turn the camera off, carry the camera or play back the pictures, attach the lens cap to protect the surface of the lens.

Detach the lens cap before turning on the camera in the recording mode.

Consult the dealer or your nearest servicenter if you lose the supplied accessories. (You can purchase the accessories separately.)
