Why Screen Protector For Your Digital Camera?

A screen protector is just a thin and transparent coating that sticks on the LCD screen for protection. It is usually pre-cut to the universal size for the cameras in the market.

The simplest reason you need a screen protector for your camera is to protect the LCD from scratches, smudges, liquids, finger prints, dusts and dirt. Do you know that the static on your camera LCD attracts dust and dirt? You can greatly reduce these disturbing materials once you get your LCD screen coated.

Also, do you know that this simple coating also reinforces the LCD against impact? This can highly prolong the life of your LCD. Unless you have a viewfinder on your digital camera, or else you will have to send your camera for repair or get a new one when your camera is spoiled.

Sometimes, when you are taking picture in the day, your polished LCD may become an annoying mirror that reflects the sunlight and made it difficult to frame your shot. Fortunately, most of the screen protectors nowadays come with the antiglare property and that will help to increase the visibility when you are photographing under very bright sun.

There are a few types of LCD screen protector and the most common of them is the film LCD protector which is most likely made from plastic. Although film protector can be cheaper than other screen protector, it is less durable than other protectors. Sometimes, it may need extra attention to be applied onto the screen to make sure that there is no air bubble.

Screen protectors nowadays are affordable and widely available online or offline. You can even get one with less than $10.

Then, how do you choose your screen protector?

1. Simple material that you can clean easily.

2. Easy to apply and no air bubble

3. Easy to remove and leave no residue after removal

4. It fits and sticks nicely on your digital camera LCD screen

5. Durable

I hope these tips are good enough to help you get a screen protector for your camera. :-)

Have fun photographing,
