Note
Attach the lens hood properly. Otherwise, the lens hood may not have any effect or may
be partially reflected in the image.
When the lens hood is attached properly, the lens hood index (red line) matches the red
index mark on the hood. (There may be no lens hood index on some lenses.)
Remove the lens hood when using the flash. Otherwise, the lens hood blocks the flash
light and may appear as a shadow on the image.
To store the lens hood after shooting, attach the lens hood to the lens backward.

Notes on changing the lens
When changing the lens, if dust or debris gets inside the camera and adheres to the surface
of the image sensor (the part that converts the light to an electric signal), it may appear as
dark spots on the image, depending on the shooting environment.
This camera is equipped with an anti-dust function that causes the image sensor to vibrate a
little when the power is turned off, and the camera’s image sensor is coated with an anti-
dust coating to prevent dust from adhering to the image sensor. However, always make sure
to attach/remove the lens quickly away from dusty locations.
