2 Reverse the lens hood and then attach it in the same way as shown previously.

• 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.

Attaching Filters

Vignetting may occur if using 2 or more

MC protectors (optional), PL filters (optional) or ND filters (optional), or if using thick protectors and/or filters.
