Attach the lens cap.
• Ensure that the lens cap is firmly
attached.
• When temporarily storing the lens
hood, ensure that it is firmly attached
and that it is not reflected in the picture.
• When temporarily storing the lens
hood, you can detach the lens cap and
take pictures. However you cannot use
the zoom ring, focus ring, [FOCUS]
button or focus switch.
• If you use a flash when the lens hood is
attached, the light from the flash is
blocked by the lens hood. The bottom of
the screen becomes dark (vignetting) and
you cannot adjust the flash setting. We
recommend removing the lens hood
before taking pictures with a flash.
• When using the AF assist lamp in the
dark, detach the lens hood.
• For details on how to attach the MC
protector and the ND filter, refer to P126.
• When the lens hood is attached, you
cannot attach conversion lenses.
• If any of the accessories are lost, please
contact Panasonic’s parts department at
1 800 833-9626 (For USA) or in Canada
call 1 800 561-5505 for more details on
