Before Use

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.

Securely attach the hood adaptor so that it is all the way into the lens barrel.

Do not tighten the hood adaptor too much.

When attaching the hood adaptor, take

extra care not to cross-thread.

When removing it, do not squeeze it as it will not unscrew freely.

Place the camera upside down, align the mark on the lens hood with the mark A on the camera and then insert the lens hood.

Ensure the screw is loose and then attach the lens hood.

Tighten the screw.

Do not tighten the screw too much.
