∫ Removing the hood adaptor
• Hold the edge of the hood adaptor to
remove it.
∫ Temporarily storing the lens hood
1 Loosen the screw and remove the
lens hood.
2 Reverse the lens hood.
3 Attach the lens hood with the
screw facing upwards and then
tighten the screw again.
• Make sure the screw is loose and then
attach the lens hood.
• Do not tighten the screw too much.
4 Attach the lens cap.
• Ensure that the lens cap is firmly
attached.
• Do not take a picture while the lens
hood is temporarily stored.
• When taking pictures with flash with the
lens hood attached, the lower portion of
the photo may turn dark (vignetting effect)
and the control of the flash may be
disabled because the photo flash may be
obscured by the lens hood. We
recommend detaching the lens hood.
• When using the AF assist lamp in the
dark, detach the lens hood.
• For details on how to attach the MC
protector and the ND filter, refer to P105.
• You cannot attach the conversion lenses
or filters and the close-up lens when the
hood adaptor is attached.
