Lens Hood
We strongly recommend the use of a lens hood
to keep
out side light which may cause flare and
ghost images
to form on the image. Rigid Canon
hoods also help to protect the lens from shock.
Use only a hood
whi ch is specified for your par-
ticular lens.
Most Canon hoods fit into the
bayonet
mount and are fix ed by turning. For more
details, please see the lens' instructions.

Dioptric Adjustment Lenses S
Ten eyesight correction lenses are available in
the powers
of +3, +2, + 1.5 + 1, +0.5 , 0, -0.5 ,
-2, -3 and -4 diopters. They may make view-
ing and focusing easier
if you are near- or far-
sighted. Choose the one which is closest to
your eyeglass prescription, and make a practic al
test if possible.
