Attaching the Lens Hood

When using the camera in bright sunlight, the
lens hood should be installed. This will
minimize lens flare and ghosting, thus
improving the overall quality of the photo.

[Preparation]
• Check that the power switch is set to [OFF]

and the lens barrel is retracted.

• Close the flash. (P37)

1

Remove the lens ring.

2

Attach the lens hood adaptor

(supplied).

• The mark

±, ¥ will be the opposite

side of the camera.

3

Attach the lens hood

2 (supplied).

• Adjust the mark of the lens hood to the

mark

± of the lens hood adaptor.

Then, rotate the lens hood to the
mark

¥ and fix it.

• Be careful not to rotate the lens hood

adaptor.

4

Rotate the lens hood and the lens
hood adaptor until the mark of the
lens hood is fitted to the mark of the
camera.

• If the marks are not fitted, edges of the

screen may become dark. (vignetting
effect)

• It is recommended that the lens hood be

removed when using the flash. Vignetting
can occur, causing the lower portion of the
photo to be dark.

• The lens cap can be installed while the lens

hood is in use if the lens cap string is not
used.
