Using the Eyepiece Cover
When you use the self-timer, bulb, or Remote Switch and do not look through the viewfinder, stray light entering the viewfinder can cause the image to look dark. To prevent this, use the eyepiece cover attached to the camera strap.
During Live View shooting and movie shooting, attaching the eyepiece cover is unnecessary.
1. Push the bottom of the eyecup to remove.
2. Slide the eyepiece cover down into the eyepiece groove to attach it.
3. After taking the picture, detach the eyepiece cover and attach the eyecup by sliding it down the eyepiece groove.
