Attaching/removing the lens cap and lens hood
When you are not shooting images, attach the lens cap to protect the lens.
When the lens hood is attached, it cuts out light which adversely aects the image,
and also helps protect the camera. Remove the lens hood when shooting with a
ash or when the AF-assist illuminator is necessary for shooting.
Turn o the camera before attaching/removing the lens hood. When attaching the
lens hood, screw it in suciently without excessive force so that it will not fall o.
