    Solution

    A lens filter or lens hood (both sold separately) can be used with the camera. Please note that a lens hood and filter adapter cannot be attached to the camera at the same time.

    Lens Filter and Lens Adapter
    A 67mm Canon-brand lens filter (sold separately) can be attached to the lens of the camera when used in conjunction with a Filter Adapter FA-DC67A (sold separately).
    Canon-brand lens filter (67 mm dia.)

    •Canon 67mm UV Protector Filter
    •67mm Circular Polarizer PL-CB

    Protects the lens and enables a variety of shooting effects.
    Filter Adapter FA-DC67A

    Adapter required when mounting a 67 mm filter.
     

    Lens Hood
    A Canon-brand Lens Hood LH-DC60 (sold separately) can be attached to the camera.
    Lens Hood LH-DC60


    Prevents extraneous light outside the angle of view from entering the lens and causing flares or ghosting, which reduces image quality.
     

    Cautionary Information on Attaching Lens Accessories
    • It is not possible to attach the Lens Hood LH-DC60 when the Filter Adapter FA-DC67A is attached to the lens. Additionally, attaching the Filter Adapter FA-DC67A after attaching the Lens Hood LH-DC60 is also not possible. Please choose one of the accessories based on the shooting situation.
    • When the Filter Adapter FA-DC67A and a lens filter are attached, it will not be possible to attach the lens cap included with the camera. After you have finished shooting, please remove the Filter Adapter FA-DC67A and the lens filter before attempting to attach the lens cap.
