Eyepiece cover
When shooting without looking through the viewfinder, such as when using the
self-timer, attach the eyepiece cover to the viewfinder so that the light does not
enter the viewfinder.
To attach the eyepiece cover, remove the eyecup from the camera as illustrated.
Do not press the shutter button while standing in front of the camera; this could
result in the subject being out of focus since focusing is performed when the
shutter button is pressed halfway.
