This camera is designed to work specifically with lenses, and
accessories manufactured and distributed by Minolta. Using
incompatible accessories with this camera may result in
unsatisfactory performance or damage the camera and
accessories.
Lenses
All V-series lenses can be used with this camera.
Lens Hood
Use a lens hood to reduce flare and ensure maximum image
quality.
• Remove the lens hood before using the camera’s built-in flash.
To attach a bayonet mount lens hood, fit the lens hood
into the bayonet mount on the end of the lens barrel,
then turn the lens hood clockwise until it stops.
If your lens and lens hood
have guide marks, align the
red line on the lens hood
with the red line on the lens,
then turn the lens hood
clockwise until the dot on
the lens hood is lined up
with the line on the lens.
• To store the lens hood, reverse it, attach it to the lens, then
replace the lens cap.
