■Attaching the hood
Align the lens hood attachment index (

hood (either one of the two indexes) with the lens hood
mounting index
4 on the lens, and turn the hood 1
clockwise until it click stops to secure.
• Make sure that the lens hood mounting index

aligns with the lens hood setting index ( ) 3 .
• If the lens hood is not correctly attached, vignetting
can occur.
• To facilitate attachment or removal of the hood, hold
it by its base (around the lens hood attachment index)
rather than its outer edge.
• To store the lens hood, attach it in the reverse position.
■Detaching the hood
While holding the base of the hood (near the lens hood attachment index) rather than
its outer edge, turn it counterclockwise to detach.
8. Flash pictures using cameras with a built-in flash
To prevent vignetting, do not use a lens hood 1.
