Preparation

Attaching the Lens Hood (DMC-FZ200)

In bright sunlight or backlight, the lens hood will minimize lens flare and ghosting. The lens hood cuts off excess lighting and improves the picture quality.

•Check that the camera is turned off.

•Close the flash.

1 Attach the lens hood into the lens with the short side aligned with the bottom of the main unit.

• Do not hold the lens hood in a way that twists or bends it.

2 Rotate the lens hood in the direction of the arrow.

3 You will feel some stiffness just before the mark, but

 

continue to rotate the lens hood to A where the marks

 

align.

 

(The lens hood will stop with a “click”.)

 

• Check that the lens hood is firmly attached and that it does not

A

appear in the picture.

 

Note

•When taking pictures with flash with the lens hood attached, the lower portion of the photo may turn dark (vignetting effect) and the control of the flash may be disabled because the photo flash may be obscured by the lens hood. We recommend detaching the lens hood.

• When temporarily detaching and carrying the lens hood, attach the lens hood to the lens in the reverse direction. Return it to the normal direction when taking pictures.
