How do I reduce the glare on the LCD monitor when shooting in sunlight?

If you do a once in a lifetime trip then shoot a lot, actually play tourist like in the movies and make yourself annoying to everybody else by shooting everybody and everything. I often come back after a trip and when I look at the pictures I often wish that I had more shots to choose from. Years ago film and developing cost a lot but now its cheap so shoot a ton of pictures later you will be happy you did.I wish I did follow my own advice on my last trip.RegardsAlfred

It is not easy try. Turn your body a little to cast some shade on the LCD. See if you can look a little sideways on the screen. Shade the sun a little with the other hand or a hat if possible. Shoot and hope for the best. IF you have the sun in your back like that and you try to photograph people you will see they squint their eyes and that picture get kind of flat due to the direct sun so try to turn a little away if you can. Sorry but that's why many cameras still has optical finders also.

The display can be seen in sunlight (not direct sunlight) but it should be mounted so it gets some shade from the glare.

Our TV faces south, so we get a fair amount of glare that washes the picture out. We have used the setting to increase the brightness, but even then its pretty difficult to see the picture.

I have an LCD with glossy mirror like reflections. Will this help reduce reflection and glare to any good extent?

This monitor has a matte finish on the screen, so the glare is minimal, even in very bright conditions. However, as with all monitors, it's best to not have a bright light source directly behind it, particularly the sun. I use this in a room that gets really bright afternoon sun, and the screen shows just fine. The wall on which this monitor is located is perpendicular to the wall with the window, so the sun does not actually hit the screen. For your use, this monitor will be more than sufficient.

Yes Jack, the LCD screen works great even in bright sunlight as long as you are not wearing polarized sunglasses while using it. The 3 inch LCD screen is awesome!

I would argue that the glare is a non issue altogether. I really think people who complain about glare are simply LCD/LED fanboys. My unit is in a sun-drenched room with wrap-around ceiling to floor windows and I've never had an issue with glare. I do need to close the blinds in the day, but that's the tradeoff for a superior picture from a display that doesn't double as a neon flashlight. So in sum, screen brightness can be an issue, but for me that's easily resolved with the blinds. Glare has never been an issue for me. I continue to stand by my initial statement that this is the finest screen I've ever viewed when broken in and calibrated properly. I would argue that the glare is a non issue altogether.

I haven't had any difficulty using it in sunlight. I haven't taken it to snow or the beach yet though. However, since I haven't noticed an issue or even thought twice about it, I don't anticipate any problems. I haven't even turned up the LCD brightness all the way (no need)!

The 'glare" is rather substantial in certain light conditions. I did find an anti-glare screen overlay by Vikuiti ( sic ) available via Amazon which is of some benefit. Love this camera.

Glare is not a problem. We purchased because our grandson took out 2 tv's with toys leaving his grip. The only thing I notice is that the natural "dust" still gets on the tv, so I remove the protector and dust. I recommend this product!

there is a shadow adjust setting. you can find this on the screen menu but anything more you have to go to the instruction book and god only knows where that is now.

I've only had the camera since the beginning of december, so I haven't used it in a lot if sunlight. However, the shots that I did take outside, I was definitely able to see the screen. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I agree, just adjust the light to bright with no problem! No glare. I love my Nook HD+ and even got one for each of my grandsons!

Looks like this was answered below. I will say that I don't use this anymore. You can't see the screen because of the glare. It's even worse is you use polarized sunglasses.

Plasma screens are known for having lots of light glare, more than LCD. I'm usually not home during the day, so light glare was not an issue for me. People recommend placing your tv against a wall that will not have sun shining on it or getting good blinds and using them
