Canon 814XL-S - Manual (Page 28)

Eyepiece Shutter Switch
The eyepiece shutter switch has open (0) and
close (C) positions. Normally it should be in the
open (0) position. It should always be switched
to "C" whenever your eye is not to the eyepiece
during filming, for instance, when filming with
remote control or the self-timer. Otherwise, light
coming through the eyepiece could cause in­
correct exposure.
Eyesight Correction
To assure good focus, the camera must be ad­
justed to your eyesight. To make the adjustment:
1. Set the eyepiece shutter switch to the "0”
(OPEN) position.
2. Turn the eyepiece lock ring counterclockwise
until the eyepiece ring can be turned freely.
3. Remove the lens cap and, while pointing the
lens toward a bright object, such as the sky or
a white sheet of paper, look into the viewfind­
er and turn the eyepiece ring until the split-
image rangefinder in the center of the viewing
screen becomes clear.
4. Then, being careful not to move the eyepiece
ring, turn the lock ring clockwise to lock the
eyepiece ring in that position.
