Guard Digital Camera Using Shades

Guards and shields are not made to protect human being only. We use various kinds of guards such as sunglasses, wrist guards to cover and protect different parts of our body. Similarly digital cameras also have different types of shades that guard them from getting damaged. Many of us may get surprised to know that. But it is true. These shades are specially created to protect the cameras from the sunrays which can be harmful for the device.

The modern day digital camera should not be exposed to the extreme heat. The LCD may get damaged if it comes in touch with the excessive sunlight. But now the methods of protecting a digital camera have become quite easier as a number of protection devices that can act as guards have been introduced. All these accessories not only shade your camera but these are quite cheap as well.

Hoodman LCD sunshades – These shades are of different sizes. These can be folded. This type of shade is appropriate for video monitors and LCD screens. This shade can be fixed using Velcro fastener or an elastic strap. But all cameras specially the larger ones cannot be managed by an elastic strap. Elastic straps are used to keep a mini digital camera steady. It is possible to operate the control button while using an elastic strap. You can also choose the other alternatives such as using the self adhesive fastener strips to guard the LCD screen.

Hoodman LCD sunshade is an open kind of shade that covers up the entire LCD screen and keeps it protected from the sunrays. These types of shades are quite affordable too. You can get it selling more or less $ 20 bucks.

Xtend-a-view – Xtend-a-view is a close kind of digi-cam shade. This type of shade is the combination of a LCD shade and an eyepiece of 2X power magnifying loupe. It allows the users to see all the pictures they have taken. These shades can be attached to a camera quite easily using self-adhesive Velcro strip. Therefore, you can easily remove it anytime if you do not want to guard your camera anymore. The price of this shade is around $ 17. Xtend-a-view shade crafted by Williams & Associates is fitted for most of all digital cameras.

JAR sun shield – Jar sun shield is exactly opposite to the Xtend-a-view sun shield. It is open type of shade designed by Jess Russel. It protects the upper part and the sides of  the LCD screen. The lower part that is kept open allows you to see the pictures you have taken clearly even under the sunlight. It also helps you to operate the control buttons of the camera. It can be fixed with the camera with a self adhesive Velcro strip. It is quite cheap and sold at $10 only. It is available in black color and is quite handy. You can easily fold it and keep it into the bag after using.

The latest version of JAR sun shield has also introduced recently. It covers the lower part too to restrict the reflection comes from below.

You can buy any of these sun shades for you favorite digital camera. The choice is yours. But buying a sun shade is must. So that whenever you go out and capture your favorite moment under the sun you can do it safely.
