1. Screw-on Type
If the lens hood is dedicated to the DA 40mm f/2.8 Limited, screw it onto the front of the
lens.
2. Bayonet Type
When attaching the lens hood, align the index on the lens hood with the attaching index
on the lens, and push both parts straight toward each other. Attach the lens hood on the
lens by turning the hood in the clockwise direction to lock it as viewed from the front of
the lens until it clicks into position.
✍
Memo:
• When attaching the lens hood, hold the focus ring and zoom ring securely to prevent
them from turning.
• When the lens hood is not in use, it can also be turned around and attached in the
reversed position.
In order to avoid the deterioration in image quality from internal reflection, use of the lens
hood is recommended.
