The filter installed onto the lens is a precise optical product. Keep it away from dust, dirt or scratch.
Do not install 2 or more filters at the same time.
Using 2 or more filters at the same time may deteriorate the image quality and may cause vignetting.
In case of a thick framed filter, the vignetting can occur with a wide-angle lens.
What is vignetting?
Vignetting refers to when the edges or outer parts of an image get dark or are hidden in black due to
the reduced intensity of light in surroundings of the screen. It can also occur when accessories such as
converters or filters are mounted, as the viewing angle of the lens is hidden.

Cautions when using a flash with the lens
Built-in flash
When you use a flash in situations where the distance from a subject and the camera
is close, the flash light is partially blocked by the lens, causing some parts of the photo
appear dark.
Check the distance between the camera and subjects when you capture photos.
Distance interrupted by the flash light may vary depending on the type of lens.
When you use a lens hood, light from the flash may be blocked by the hood.
Remove the lens hood when you use the flash.
