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

[EmiliaMarie]

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

Attaching the Lens Hood:

1. Align the white alignment mark (A) on the lens hood with the corresponding mark on the tip of the Panasonic S-S85 lens.
2. Rotate the lens hood in the direction indicated by the arrow until the white mark (B) on the lens hood aligns with the mark on the lens.
3. You'll feel a click when the lens hood is securely in place.

Removing the Lens Hood:

1. Locate the lens hood release button.
2. Press the release button and rotate the lens hood in the direction of the arrow.
3. Once released, you can pull the lens hood off.

Additional Tips:

• For storage or to minimize space when carrying, you can reverse the lens hood. Align mark B on the lens hood with the mark on the lens and rotate until it clicks.
• For flash photography, it's generally best to remove the lens hood to avoid any potential shadowing or obstruction of the flash.
• Always handle the lens by the lens body, not just the lens hood, to prevent accidental detachment or damage.
