Panasonic DMC-FZ1000 - Manual (Page 22)

2. Preparations before Recording
22
• When taking pictures with flash with the lens hood attached, the lower portion of the photo may
turn dark (vignetting effect) and the control of the flash may be disabled because the photo
flash may be obscured by the lens hood. We recommend detaching the lens hood.
• When temporarily detaching and carrying the lens hood, we recommend attaching with the
orientation reversed.
Return it to the normal direction when taking pictures.
Attaching the Lens Cap
• When you turn the camera off or carry the camera, attach the lens cap to protect the surface of
the lens.
• Make sure to detach the lens cap when turning this unit on.
• Be careful not to lose the lens cap.
