1 Loosen the screw and remove the lens hood.

2 Reverse the lens hood.

3 Attach the lens hood with the screw facing upwards and then tighten the screw again.

•Make sure the screw is loose and then attach the lens hood.

•Do not tighten the screw too much.

4 Attach the lens cap.

•Ensure that the lens cap is firmly attached.

•Do not take a picture while the lens hood is temporarily stored.

•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 using the AF assist lamp in the dark, detach the lens hood.
