Attaching and Detaching a Lens
44
A lens hood can block unwanted light and prevent rain, snow, dust, etc. 
adhering to the front of the lens. Before storing the lens in a bag, etc., 
you can attach the hood in reverse.
 
If the Lens and the Lens Hood Have a Mount Index
1
Align the red dots, then turn the 
hood as shown by the arrow.
 
Align the red dots on the hood and 
lens edge, then turn the hood as 
shown by the arrow.
2
Turn the hood as shown in the 
illustration.
 
Turn the hood clockwise until it 
attaches securely.
Attaching a Lens Hood
 
If the hood is not attached properly, it may obstruct the image’s 
periphery, making the image look dark.
 
When attaching or detaching the hood, grasp the base of the hood when 
turning it. Grasping the hood’s edges when turning it may deform the 
hood, resulting in failure to turn.
