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. 31
