Nikon 70-200mm-f4G-ED-AF-S-VR-Zoom-Nikkor: The Lens Hood Focusing Screens

■

The Lens Hood

The lens hoods protect the lens and block stray light that would

otherwise cause flare or ghosting.

En

Align the lens hood lock mark (—) with the

lens hood mounting mark (●) on the lens (e).

When attaching or removing the hood, hold it near the symbol on its

base and avoid gripping it too tightly.

Vignetting may occur if the hood is

not correctly attached.

The hood can be reversed and mounted on the lens when not in use.

When the hood is reversed, it can be attached and removed by rotating it

while holding it near the lock mark (—).
