∫Temporarily Storing the Lens Hood
1 Turn the lens hood in the direction of the
arrow to detach it.
2 Reverse the lens hood and then attach it
in the same way as shown previously.
• When taking pictures with
the flash with the lens hood
attached, the lower portion
of the screen may turn dark
(vignetting effect) and the
control of the flash may be
disabled because the photo
flash may be obscured by the lens hood. We
recommend detaching the lens hood.
• When using the AF assist lamp in the dark,
detach the lens hood.
∫ Attaching Filters
≥ Vignetting may occur if using 2 or more
MC protectors (optional: DMW-LMC52),
PL filters (optional: DMW-LPL52) or ND filters
(optional: DMW-LND52), or if using thick
protectors and/or filters.
≥ The filter may become impossible to remove if
excessively tightened, so please refrain from
tightening it too strongly.
≥ It is possible to attach the lens cap with the filter
already attached.
≥ You cannot attach a conversion lens or adaptor to
this lens. A filter may be used, but attaching any
other element may cause damage to the lens.
