LENS HOOD
The removable and reversible lens hood helps
prevent unwanted sidelight from the sun or other
sources from entering the lens. It also helps pro-
tect the lens from accidental impact damage. We
recommend having your lens hood attached at all
times.
There is no need to remove the lens cap when re
-
moving or attaching the lens hood.
To remove the lens hood from its storage (rever
-
sed) position, rotate it counterclockwise (when
facing the lens) until it releases (approximately 1/8
turn).
To attach the hood for use, align the white line on
the hood with the corresponding line on the end of
the lens. Slip the hood gently over the mount and
rotate it clockwise until it clicks firmly into place.
The alignment mark should now align directly with
the line on the angled portion of the lens barrel.
To reverse-mount the lens hood prior to storing the lens in its
transport case, use the same procedure with the lens hood
facing the opposite direction.
