How do I attach and detach the lens hood on my Panasonic S-S85 lens?

[SiennaDella]

Attaching and detaching the lens hood on your Panasonic S-S85 interchangeable lens is simple. Here's a guide:

Attaching the Lens Hood:

1. Align the mark labeled 'A' on the lens hood with the corresponding mark on the front of the Panasonic S-S85 lens.
2. Rotate the lens hood in the direction indicated by the arrow until the mark labeled 'B' on the lens hood aligns with the mark on the lens.
3. Continue rotating until you hear a click, indicating the lens hood is securely attached.

Removing the Lens Hood:

1. Locate the lens hood release button, usually found near the base where the hood connects to the lens.
2. Press and hold the release button.
3. Rotate the lens hood in the direction of the arrow until it detaches.

Additional Tips:

• For storage or to minimize space, you can reverse the lens hood. Align mark 'B' on the hood with the lens mark and rotate to secure.
• It's often recommended to remove the lens hood when using a flash to avoid unwanted shadows.
• Avoid carrying the lens by holding only the lens hood; always hold the lens body to prevent it from accidentally detaching or dropping.
