Using a lens hood is recommended
to
block stray light from entering the lens.
The internal reflection of stray light degrades image quality.

both parts straight toward each other. Attach the
lens hood on the lens by turning
the hood in the
clockwise direction, as viewed from the front of the lens,
to
lock it
until
it
clicks into position.
• When the lens hood is not in use, it can also be turned around and attached in
the reversed position.
The
included lens hood has a PL filter window which
facilitates the manipulation of the
circular polarizing filter
when the lens hood
is
attached.
