2. Getting Started/Basic Operations
• When taking pictures with flash with the lens hood attached, the lower portion of the photo
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 temporarily detaching and carrying the lens hood, we recommend attaching with
the orientation reversed.
Return it to the normal direction when taking pictures.
• Be careful not to catch your finger, etc. when the lens retracts.
