Using the lens hood
Lens hoods minimize stray light and protect the lens.
Attaching the hood (when in use)
• Be sure that the lens hood mounting index ( ) is
aligned with the lens hood setting index ( ) (3).
• To facilitate attachment or removal of the hood,
hold it by the base (near the lens hood attachment
index
( )) rather than its outer edge.
• If the lens hood is not correctly attached, vignetting
may occur.
Attaching the hood (when storing)
• To store the lens hood, attach it in the reverse
position.
The built-in flash and vignetting
• The built-in flash cannot be used over distances of less than 0.6 m (2.0 ft.).
• To prevent vignetting, do not use the lens hood.
* Vignetting is the darkening of the corners around the image that occurs when the
light emitted by the flash is obstructed by the lens barrel.
