10. Hood
If the hood is not attached properly, vignetting (darkening of the perimeter of the picture) may occur.
Grasp and turn the base of the hood when attaching and detaching it. There are cases in which it may
become deformed if the hood is turned with it grasped near to the rim.
Since only a hood is not very effective in cutting off the harmful rays entering the lens, also using a piece of
cardboard is recommended.
The ES-84 or ET-88 hood cuts out unwanted light and protects the front of the lens from rain, snow,
and dust.
Attaching
To attach the hood, align the hood’s red
attachment position mark with the red dot on the
front of the lens, then turn the hood as shown by
the arrow until it clicks.

Removing
Keep your finger pressed down on the button
located on the side of the hood, and then turn
the hood in the direction of the arrow until the
attachment position mark on the hood is aligned
with the red dot on the front of the lens to
detach it. The hood can be reverse-mounted on
the lens for storage.
