Lens hood is a commonly used photography accessory that fits in front of the camera lens. It serves the following functions: 1. During backlighting, side lighting, or flash photography, it prevents stray light from entering and avoids fogging2. When shooting with front light or side light, it can prevent surrounding scattered light from entering the lens3. When taking photos under lighting or at night, it can prevent surrounding interference light from entering the lens4. It can prevent accidental damage to the lens, also avoid fingers accidentally touching the lens surface, and to some extent shield the lens from wind, sand, rain, and snowLens hoods are widely used in backlight photography to generally avoid flare. However, if the light source is close, flare can still occur. In this case, you can manually cover the side where the light source is located with the hood. Whether the flare is eliminated should be observed clearly through the viewfinder
