Preparation
Attaching the Lens Hood
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.
To attach the lens hood (flower shape) that came with the 14–42 mm/F3.5– 5.6 lens
included in DMC-G10K

Insert the lens hood into the lens

with the short sides at the top and

bottom, and turn in the direction

of the arrow until it stops.

AFitting to the mark.
∫Temporarily storing the lens hood
1Turn the lens hood in the direction of the arrow to
detach it.
2Reverse the lens hood and then attach it in the same
way as shown previously.
•Attach the lens cap.
•When temporarily storing the lens hood, check that it is firmly
attached and that it does not appear in the picture.
Note
•Hold the short sides of the flower shaped lens hood when attaching or detaching it.
•When taking pictures with flash with the lens hood att ached , the lo wer po rt ion of t he phot o 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.
