Attaching the Strap, Attach the lens cap | Panasonic DMC-L1K

Preparation

∫Temporarily storing the lens hood

1 Turn the lens hood in the direction of the arrow to detach it.

2 Reverse 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.

•Hold the short sides of the lens hood when attaching or detaching it.

•When taking pictures with the flash with the lens hood attached, the lower portion of the screen 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.

•For details on how to attach the MC protector and the PL filter, refer to P106.

•For information about optional accessories, refer to the “Digital Camera Accessory System”. (P125)
