Preparations before Recording
Attaching the Lens Hood
In bright sunlight or backlight, the lens hood will minimize lens flare and ghosting.
The lens hood cuts off excess lighting and improves the picture quality.
•
Do not hold the lens hood in a way that twists or bends it.
• Check that the camera is turned off.
• Close the flash.

Align one of the mounting marks
on the lens hood edge at the
10 o’clock position and opposite
the lens’ bayonet mount.
A Lens bayonet

i.e. that the marks are exactly in the 6 and 12
o’clock positions
