Can a lens hood be used with the camera? (PowerShot G16)

Content Id: 8201907400


Solution

When the Tele-converter TC-DC58E (sold separately) is used with the camera, the lens hood included with Tele-converter TC-DC58E can be attached.

*Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC58L (sold separately) must be attached in order to use the Tele-converter TC-DC58E.

Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC58L

Adapter required to attach the Teleconverter or Macro Ring Lite/Macro Twin Lite flash to the camera.
Tele-Converter TC-DC58E

Optional lens attached to the camera to increase the focal length by a factor of approximately 1.4x.

Attaching the lens hood included with Tele-converter TC-DC58E (sold separately) can reduce the effect of extraneous light outside the angle of view when shooting backlit subjects, or when the camera is aimed toward a bright light source.

Fit the lens hood over the tele-converter as shown and attach it securely.
When the lens hood will not be used, attach it inverted.

Caution

The following camera accessories are sold separately. Note that availability varies by area, and some accessories may no longer be available.
Vignetting may occur if you use the built-in flash when the lens hood is attached.
The filter adapter and a lens hood cannot be attached to the camera at the same time.
