After receiving my S100 back from Canon, it broke a second time. I had to decide whether to take a sledge hammer to it or send it back for repair. Other Digital Camera Accessories When I first looked through the ClearViewer, I simply couldn’t believe my eyes. Images and menus on the LCD are amazingly clear and easy to see. Cool cameras and other stuff Frame better portrait and group shots with the front LCD on Samsung’s new DualView digital cameras. The cameras even snap the photo when you smile. Because a digital camera is held away from your body when composing shots using a LCD, it is even more prone to camera shake than when using a viewfinder. Make sure to hold the camera correctly. To help prevent blurred images, you’ll have to hold your digital camera steady. LCD screens can be difficult to see in bright light. LCD hoods reduce glare for improved viewing. Screen protectors help protect a digital camera LCD from smudges, scratches and possible damage.

Butterfly Knives For Sale For CheapIf you have a viewfinder, it helps tremendously. However, when you are filming a movie, you do really depend a lot on the larger image displayed on the LCD. One solution to the washed out LCD in bright sunlight is to purchase an LCD Hood. If you do lots of filming in bright sunlight, the expense is fully justified.

But, if you only do it occasionally, you may want to consider the following DIY option. An LCD Hood is a cover for your DSLR’s LCD to block out the sun’s rays so you can have a clear unwashed view in bright light. Why spend $200 for an LCD hood when you can easily build one for around $5 from items you probably already have lying at home? In this Youtube video, user Knoptop shows how to build one. There are other designs out there but we found this one easy to understand and it seems to require less effort and no maths. 😉 The one problem you may have is to find a container that is the right size for your LCD.It's tough to view photos on camera LCD screens in bright outdoor conditions. You can help improve this situation by using an accessory that you probably already have in your camera bag: a lens hood. I carry a couple collapsable rubber lens hoods because their depth when mounted on the front of the lens helps prevent flare in contrasty conditions. They occupy about the same amount of space as a filter, yet can serve double duty.

When not on the front of the lens, hoods are helpful on the back of the camera, improving the contrast of the LCD screen. Another favorite of mine is the deep plastic lens hood that came with my Leica 25mm f/1.4 prime lens that I use on the OM-D. Its rectangular shape is a nice match for the LCD screen on the back of the camera. I bet if you dig around a bit, you can find a double-duty lens hood that could justify its space in your camera bag. In bright sun, every little bit helps. Want to Comment on this Post?
