Step 10Lumix with hood
The hood protects the lens from getting knocked, and will keep glare off of the lens. This seems even more good with the Leica on this Lumix: the outside lens element is nearly flush with the end of the lens assembly, with no protection at all.
From this picture, you can see the only limitation of attaching the hood: the auto-focus assist lamp (the little glass circle to the right of the LUMIX badge) will be partially blocked. The lamp is only there to illuminate subjects in the dark (and to blink when the self-timer is on). It serves no other function. Shouldn't be a problem: you won't need to use the hood in the dark. If you want to take pics in the rain, while it's dark ... what can I say?
