How it works: This simple contrivance provides a raised surface that protects the control dial and buttons from unintentional activation without hampering their normal use. You can even hold the camera with your thumb directly over the dial without activating any buttons or the dial. Attachment Instructions: Clean the area where the ring will be attached with the included alcohol wipe and let dry (we recommend putting the wipe in a tissue to avoid over-wetting the camera).
