ª Attaching the lens hood/hood cap
1 1 Attach the lens hood.
2 Attach the hood cap.
• The camera is turned upside down
in the figure above.
• In bright sunlight or when there is
backlight, the lens hood will
minimize lens flare and ghosting.
• The lens hood cuts off excess
lighting and improves the picture
quality.
• When using the MC protector, you
can also attach the lens hood.
• When detaching the lens hood, refer
to P111.

Suggestions/Tips
¬
• If the MC protector is dropped, it may
be damaged. Be careful not to drop it.
• You can also attach the ND filter
(DMW-LND69; optional) by following
the procedure for attaching the MC
protector. The ND filter reduces the
amount of light to approximately 1/8th
(equal to 3 F-stops) without affecting
the color balance.
• You cannot attach the MC protector
and the ND filter at the same time.
• When attaching the lens hood, use the
dedicated hood cap. You cannot use
the lens cap.
• When taking pictures with flash, the
photo flash may be obscured by the
lens hood. This can result in the lower
portion of the photo being dark. We
recommend removing the lens hood.
• When attaching the lens hood, attach
the supplied hood cap on it. The lens
cap cannot be attached to it.
• If any of the accessories are lost,
please contact Panasonic’s parts
department at 1 800 833-9626 (For
USA) or 1 800 561-5505 (For
Canada).
