The Hoodman LCD Monitor Hood H180

The LCD monitor of Nikon Coolpix 950 is almost unusable under strong light situation such as sunlight because the screen is almost washed out. The Hoodman monitor hood as shown below may help overcome this problem.

The way of installing the Hoodman monitor hood on camera is shown below. Its size barely covers the LCD monitor. There still are some problems, though. First, due to the curved camera body the image shown on the LCD monitor is still difficult to see under certain situations. Second, it is sometimes very inconvenient because of the extra depth. Third, the band occasionally covers some of those frequently used parts such as the LCD panel, W zooming button, flash mode button, external power plug and so on. Although it is not very convenient, it is very helpful under strong sun light.
