EYEPIECE AND ACCESSORY SHOE CAPS

An eyepiece cap is attached to the strap. Before using the self-timer or making long exposures, remove the the eyepiece cup and attach the cap to the viewfinder eyepiece to prevent stray light from entering the camera and affecting exposure.

The camera also comes with an accessory-shoe cap which protects the accessory-shoe contacts. When using a flash or other accessory, slide the accessory-shoe cap into the eyepiece cap for safekeeping.
