Eyepiece cover

When shooting without looking through the viewfinder, attach the eyepiece cover to the viewfinder to prevent the light entering the viewfinder from changing the exposure. Attach the eyepiece cover after removing the eyecup as illustrated. The same applies when replacing with an optional eyecup.
