Attaching the lens hood
When you shoot in bright lighting
conditions, such as outdoors, we
recommend that you use the lens hood to
reduce the image quality deterioration
caused by unnecessary light.
Position the lens hood as shown below, by
aligning the
mark on the lens hood and
the mark on the lens, and attach the hood
to the lens (
1
). Turn the lens hood
clockwise until it clicks to align with the
z
mark (
2
).
• You can attach the lens cap with the lens hood
attached.
• When the lens hood is attached, it may block
flashlight or AF illuminator light.
Storing the lens hood
The lens hood can be attached in the reverse
direction to store it with the camera when it
is not in use.
Position the lens hood as shown below, by
aligning the mark on the lens hood and
the mark on the lens, and attach the hood
to the lens (
1
). Turn the lens hood
clockwise until it clicks to align with the
z
mark (
2
).
Attaching a conversion lens (not

When you want to do enhanced wide-angle
shots or zoom-in shots on distant objects,
