There is really no solution to this. In a larger camera or on video cameras you can usually but a hood which acts as a visor for your LCD screen cutting down on glare. They do not make one for this camera but you could fashion your own out of card board and just tape it to the top of your lcd so it protrudes creating a shade area over the screen. I know this is not the most perfect solution but it is free and worth a try.

Good Luck!

Thank you for your suggestion. I purchased a delkin shade and this did not help.

In situations like this, I always carry an umbrella to shade the camera, and I like the black one that can be folded to a mere 8" long to fit into any camera bag.

With some practice, I found that I could hold the camera with one hand and the umbrella with the other.

Other times, I found a hard cover notebook can also be very handy, just to provide some shade and save the day.

Great suggestion. I will use this idea with the umbrella. When I was in Alaska, I used my baseball hat but it was difficult to hold it over the camera and try to zoom and click at the same time. The umbrella may work much better. Thanks

The Delkin shades are Crap. My $30.00 shade broke and is now completely worthless after about 50 gentle openings. No way to repair. Cheap plastic at a big price.
