    Attaching a lens filter to the camera protects the lens and allows you to shoot with various effects. To attach a lens filter, you will need Filter Adapter FA-DC67B, which is included with Lens Hood LH-DC100 (sold separately).

    IMPORTANT
    ●We recommend the use of genuine Canon filters (67 mm dia.).
    ●When not using auto focus to shoot, set the manual focus option [Safety MF] to [On].
    ● If you use the built-in flash with the filter adapter attached, portions of the image may appear darker.
    ●When using the filter adapter, be sure to use only one filter at a time. Attaching multiple filters, or accessories such as a heavy lens, may cause the attachments to fall off and become damaged.
    ● Do not grip the filter adapter tightly.
    ● Remove the filter adapter when not using a filter.

    1. Make sure the camera is off.

    2. Align the notches on the camera and the filter adapter and turn the adapter in the direction of the arrow until locked.
    • To remove the filter adapter, turn it in the opposite direction.



    3. Attach the filter.
    • Turn the filter in the direction of the arrow to attach it to the camera.
    • Make sure not to attach the filter too tightly. Doing so could prevent removal of the filter and damage the camera.
