A telescopically extendible focusing hood which improves the viewing of the
LCD screen of a digital camera in bright surrounding light. The focusing
hood can be fixed to the rear wall of the camera, surrounding the LCD
screen. The focusing hood preferably has an anti-reflection-coated
enlarging lens or glass disk which covers the entire cross-section of the
focusing hood in parallel to the fixing plane. In its extended state, the
focusing hood can be used with a single lens in the manner of a 35 mm
camera finder. When the enlarging lens is pushed in, the focusing hood can
be used with two lenses for assessing the image.
