Preparations before Recording
•Do not hold the lens hood in a way that twists or bends it.
•Check that the camera is turned off.•Close the flash.
1Align the mounting mark under the long side of the lens hood with the 
mounting projection on the edge of the lens.
2Screw in the lens hood in the direction of the arrow.3You will feel some stiffness just before the mark, but continue  to rotate the lens 
hood until you hear a “click” and align the mark.
•
Check that the lens hood is firmly attached and that it does no t appear in the picture.
•When temporarily detaching and carrying the lens hood, we recommend 
attaching with the orientation reversed.
Return it to the normal direction when taking pictures.
•When taking pictures with flash with the lens hood attached, th e 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 obscur ed by 
the lens hood. We recommend detaching the lens hood.

•Make sure to detach the lens cap when turning this unit on.•Be careful not to lose the lens cap.
