I have a cyber-shot camera, and it came with a lens hood. And I have no idea what the lens hood is for. I know how to put it on and everything, i just dont know what it helps or what it does.
Does anyone know?
Thanks much!!

While it does protect your lens as the other person said it main purpose is to reduce flair and glare from the sun. If shooting outdoors you should leave it on.

Such as the one in this video at 1:26

It's a Nikon d3000.
I'm looking for all different kinds of lens hoods.
And I'm currently using a AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G lens on it.
Links please :)

Here's the one made by Nikon for your lens:

It's not real long like the one in the video, because that was a "telephoto-only" lens. You can't use a long lens hood on a lens that zooms out as wide as 18mm or it will cut off the corners of your image.
