●
When temporarily detaching and carrying the lens hood, we recommend attaching with the
orientation reversed.
Return it to the normal direction when taking pictures.
●
If you attach the lens hood while using the flash, the flash light would be blocked by the lens hood
causing the bottom part of images to be darkened (vignetting) and also making it impossible to
modulate the light. It is recommended to remove the lens hood before using the flash.
