Nikon HN-CP14 Camera Lens Hood

This is a HN-CP14 lens hood for Nikon COOLPIX 8800 digital cameras. The HN-CP14 protects the lens and blocks unwanted light, reducing ghosting and enhancing contrast.

The Lens Hood attaches on the outside of the lens and is held securely in place with a small thumb screw. There are two marks, one on the hood and one on the camera that are used to line up the hood correctly. The hood is threaded for a 67mm filter so I suggest getting the Hoya 67mm UV filter if you want to protect your expensive Nikon lens.

The hood also comes with its own 67mm lens cap so you won't need to buy one. One observation is that the lens hood partially blocks the infra red sensor and also the pop-up flash unit so you will definitely need to remove the lens hood for indoor flash photography.
