Using the accessories
Lens hood/Adaptor ring
The lens hood is stored with the adapter
ring on at the time of purchase. Remove the
adapter ring from the lens hood before
attaching them to the camera.
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.
1 Attach the adaptor ring (A) while the
power is off.
2 Turn the area of [a] on the adaptor ring in
the direction of the arrow and position the
indicator of 1 to the indicator of 2.
3 Position the indicator of 3 on the lens
hood (B) to the indicator of 2 and attach
the lens hood. Turn the lens hood in the
direction of the arrow until it clicks.
4 Check that the “TOP” indication is
positioned as shown in the illustration.
The lens hood will be attached correctly as
shown in the illustration.
• After the lens hood (B) is attached, the area of
[a] on the adaptor ring will not turn. If the lens
hood is attached misaligned, dark shadows will
appear on the corners of the screen. Remove the
lens hood once and start again from step 2.
• You can attach the lens cap with the lens hood
attached.
• When using the lens hood, be careful that the
following:
– The AF illuminator light may be blocked.
– The infrared light of Night Shot may be
blocked.
– The flash light may be blocked, causing the
shadow to appear when using the built-in
flash.
– The Remote sensor may be blocked, and the
Remote Control may not operate correctly.
