Pop-Up Shades are LCD screen protective covers, which double as glare guards. These sturdy, lightweight covers are easily installed (and removed), protect a digital camera’s expensive LCD screen in the closed position, and pop up to provide easier viewing of the display in bright sunlight.
Pop-Up Shade FAQ
Q-How does it close?
A- Fold in the two flaps and push down the shade.
Q-How does the mini stick on, and does it leave adhesive residue?
A-The mini attaches to your camera by removing the backing and pressing the adhesive down onto the camera body. It does not damage your camera with residue, stickiness, or scratches.
Q- My hood detached from my Point and Shoot mini Pop up Shade, is it broken?
A- No. The shade detaches from the base so that you can remove the shade and still use the LCD protector.
Q- My hood detached from my DSLR Professional Pop up Shade, is it broken?
A- No. The shade detaches from the base so that you can remove the shade and still use the LCD protector.
Q- Why is my screen foggy and hard to see through?
A- Each screen comes with a protective film that prevents it from scratching during shipment. The film must be pealed off before use.
Q-If there is not a Pop up Shade for my camera, will another model’s shade fit my screen?
A-Unfortunately, each Pop up Shade is made specifically for certain camera bodies. We can not guarantee that different models will fit cameras other than the ones they were made for.

Q & A With A Pop Up Shade Master
Is the size the inner measurement or does it include the frame as well?
The Pop-Up Shade measurement is the inner diameter from corner to corner on the diagonal. It does not include the frame. So the diagonal, corner to corner measurement of the entire pop up shade is closer to 3 3/8”
I cannot get the protective film off of the shade. What can I do?
Use your fingernail to dig into the clear protective film and scratch toward the center of the screen away from the border. This will make it easier to get an edge that you can lift up on and thus peel away the protective film.
What size is my LCD and how do I find the right shade?
The LCD screens are measured from corner to corner on the diagonal of the VISIBLE screen. Turn the camera on and hit the MENU key so that the LCD is illuminated and then measure the illuminated corner to the opposite illuminated corner. This will give you the actual size of the LCD.
Where is the instruction booklet that shows how to install the shade on my camera?
The instructions are on the insert that came in the blister pack that the shade was packaged in. unfold the insert to view instructions.
I see my reflection in the LCD cover and not my screen. Why is the shade not working?
The shade is designed to assist in blocking DIRECT light. REFLECTED light can still be an issue especially if you are wearing a white shirt or are in an area that is overly bright. To counter balance this try increasing the LCD brightness of your camera. Please check camera manual to find the LCD brightness controls.
