Attaching the lens hood
We recommend that you use the lens hood to prevent light outside the shooting frame from
affecting the image. 1.  Match the shape of the lens hood mounting part and lens head,  and turn the lens hood
clockwise until it clicks.
Note
Attach the lens hood properly. Otherwise, the lens hood may not have any effect  or may
be partially  reflected in the image.
When the lens hood is attached properly, the lens hood index (red line) matches the red
index mark on the hood.  (There  may be no lens hood index on some  lenses.)
Remove the lens hood when using the flash. Otherwise, the lens hood blocks the flash
light and may appear as a shadow  on the image.
To store the lens hood after  shooting, attach the lens hood to the lens backward.

of the image sensor  (the part that converts the light to an electric signal), it may appear as
dark  spots on the image,  depending on the shooting environment.
The cameras image sensor  is coated  with an anti-dust coating to prevent dust from
adhering to it. However, always make  sure  to attach/remove the lens quickly, away from
