Panasonic DMC-G6 owner manual Attaching the Lens Hood, Fitting to the mark

Preparation

Attaching the Lens Hood

When recording into strong backlight, irregular reflection may occur within the lens. The lens hood reduces the inclusion of unwanted light in the recorded images and lowers the drop in contrast. The lens hood cuts off excess lighting and improves the picture quality.

•The interchangeable lens (H-PS14042) does not have a lens hood.
