PowerShot SX50 missing part

[cosmo]

Hey all! Recently the plastic covering that goes around where the lens extends (outlined in red in attached photo) seems to have come off of my camera without me noticing- it was having issues sliding off before. Is there a way to get a replacement for this part? Does it have a name I could use when googling? If there are no replacements (it is a pretty old model), is there a way I can MacGyver something to cover this spot? Is it even important to cover? Thank you for any and all advice 🙂

Hello,

The plastic covering you're referring to is generally called a 'lens barrel cover' or sometimes a 'lens hood'. You can try searching online marketplaces like Amazon or eBay for replacements using these terms along with your camera model.

I was going to suggest the Canon Parts Dept., but given the cameras age (13 yrs) and 12MP, its unlikely they are still stocking parts.
