Notes
• Attach the lens hood properly. Otherwise, the lens hood may interfere with the
desired effect or may appear on your images.
• When the lens hood is properly attached to the DT 16-50mm F2.8 SSM, the red dot
on the lens lines up with the red dot on the hood.
• A lens hood is not included with the DT 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 SAM. You can use the
ALC-SH108 (sold separately).
• The lens hood may block the light of the flash. Remove the lens hood when using the
flash.
