Preparations
Attaching the Lens Hood
When recording into strong backlight, irregular reflection may occur within the lens. The
lens hood reduces the inclusion of unwanted light in the recorded images and lowers the
drop in contrast. The lens hood cuts off excess lighting and improves the picture quality.
• Do not hold the lens hood in such a way that it will be bent.
• Make sure that the camera is turned off.
• Be sure to close the flash beforehand.

Align the mounting mark on the lens
hood a little above the mounting mark

you hear a “click” even if you feel
some stiffness, and then align the

Rotate the lens hood until the marks are aligned.
• Make sure the lens hood is secured properly and
its reflection does not fall on images.
