Description:The robust lens hoods of the DV series are specifically designed for the permanent use on digital video cameras to protect the exposed and sensitive lenses of video cameras from mechanical damage.
The angles of this rectangular hood match with the shooting angles of digital video cameras. DV series lens hoods are also provided with an additional protective cap, which can be put on front of the hood. This cap is the most compact solution, if you want to set a custom white balance in your camera.
In digital video camera with 16:9 aspect ratio, the horizontal picture angle is wider than the vertical. The square lens hood with a 1:1.5 aspect ratio suits the picture angles of 16:9 cameras much better than round hoods, thus combining the avoidance of vignetting with a highly improved stray light protection for these cameras.
Function:
The main function of the lens hood is to shade the lens from stray light, improving your contrast and image quality and protecting the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life obstacles. And in inclement weather, it can assist in keeping moisture or wind-blown debris off the lens.
Installation:
* Rotate lock-ring to expose the thread's mounting thread
* Attach the hood by screwing it on the filter or lens thread
* Rotate lock-ring back to fix the hood on the thread
* While fixating the hood with the lock-ring, keep the "V" symbol on the hood exactly at 12 o'clock position.

Compatibility: Wide Angle lens hood with screw mount fits on any 30/37/43/46/49/52/58/62/67/72/77mm lens filter or barrel thread. It is suitable for 16:9 format (1.5:1 aspect ratio) digital video cameras of all brands.
