VERSION II SNAP-ON LENS HOOD USER MANUAL
INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing a Vello Snap-on Lens Hood. The Vello Snap-on Lens Hood is primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering your camera lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. Additional features allow the hood to be easily mounted in the forward and reverse positions, and accept lens-compatible caps. Please follow the instructions contained within this manual to install and remove your Vello Snap-on Lens Hood properly.
Benefits of Vello Snap-on Lens Hood: • Petal Shape Maximizes Hood Coverage • Minimum Weight & Hood Area • Extra Protection From Accidental Impact • Reversible Design Allows For Compact Storage • Quality Matte Inside Finish Eliminates interior reflected light • Durable & Impact-Resistant Plastic Housing Note: This device is ideal for internal focus lenses; full frame cameras with an attached lens above 20mm; and APS-C cameras with an attached lens above 15mm.
TO INSTALL ON LENS Hold tulip-shaped lens hood with “petals” facing away from camera and ensure the word “TOP” is facing upward on hood Align top of lens hood with top of camera lens; squeeze side tabs in and gently snap into place on filter thread (Note: Improper installation of lens hood may cause vignetting – verify that the word “TOP” is facing upward on hood and the longer “petals” are oriented in top and bottom positions)
TO REMOVE FROM LENS TO REVERSE LENS HOOD To detach lens hood, grasp base of hood and squeeze side tabs in; remove base from filter thread by pulling outward To reverse lens hood for storage purposes, simply rotate hood with “petals” facing toward camera and gently snap into place on filter thread (Note: Do not grip device by hood itself – always keep firm hold on actual camera and/or lens to prevent accidental breakage)
LENS CAP PLACEMENT To install lens cap on top of lens hood, snap lens-compatible cap into thread adapter strips on sides of hood; cap can be accepted by hood in both forward and reverse positions (Note: Squeeze-lock tabs on lens cap must be aligned with thread adapter strips on sides of hood to be properly secured)
ADDITIONAL NOTES • To maximize usage of the Vello Snap-On Lens Hood, please note the following: • When installing lens hood device, be sure to hold camera and/or lens firmly; for maximum protection, install hood on flat surface to prevent accidental breakage • While the lens hood will accept camera-compatible lens cap to help protect from dust, the hood will not create airtight seal with cap • Always remove the lens cap from lens hood before removing actual lens hood device from camera
