■ The Lens Hood
The lens hoods protect the lens and block stray light that would
En
otherwise cause flare or ghosting.
De
Align the lens hood lock mark (—
{) with
the lens hood mounting mark (●) on the
Fr
lens (e).
Es
When attaching or removing the hood, hold it near the symbol on
Sv
its base and avoid gripping it too tightly.
Vignetting may occur if the
hood is not correctly attached.
Ru
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
Nl
it while holding it near the lock mark (

■ Built-in Flash Units

When using the built-in flash on cameras equipped with a built-in
flash unit, shoot at ranges of 0.6 m (2 ft) or more and remove the lens
