From time to time I get the flaring problems as seen in this example. The lens hood that came with the camera doesn't fix it and invariable you are unable to shift viewpoint. In some cases I've been able to block off the light source, but its fairly rare that one can adopt that technique. For one side of this font I was able to place a heavy coat on top of it and just out of shot, which reduced some of the problem but not all. For this example nothing worked.

Is there something I'm missing?
