Shopper : What is the lens hood used for?WARREN K : It is included with the camera. I have not used it yet - think it is used when outdoor shooting towards the sun to shield the lens from sunlight lens flares or spots in the image.JOHN B : Generally a lens hood is used to reduce glare, particularly with a long lens. Do a web search and you'll find more information, such as on wikipedia.JAMES G : Simply put, the lens hood helps keep direct sunlight off of the lens, thus helping prevent lens flare from the sun striking the lens. It's like you wearing a hat to keep the sun out of your eyes.LINDA P : I haven't used mine yet but I think it would be helpful when shooting in the sun.DEBRA A : The lens hood is a piece of plastic that clips onto the front of a camera lens and extends beyond it. Lens hoods serve two primary purposes: (1) reducing lens flare, and (2) protecting the lens from damage. The intended purpose of the lens hood is simply to reduce lens flare, but the protection it provides to the glass elements of the lens is a beneficial side-effect. (from a web site)
