Attaching a Lens Hood
For recording against strong backlight, a lens hood can reduce the 
inclusion of unwanted light in images and drop in contrast resulting from 
the irregular reflection of light that occurs within the lens.
It allows you take more beautiful pictures by cutting out excess light.

interchangeable lens (S-R24105)
Hold the lens hood by placing your 
fingers as shown in the figure.
