You can prevent light from entering through the viewfinder and affecting
the exposure. When the shutter is released without the use of the viewfinder
in viewfinder mode, as in shooting with the self-timer, attach the eyepiece
cover.
Note

the situation, and the focus may be adjusted or the LCD monitor may continue to
flash. In such cases, turn off both [Eye-Start AF] (page 68) and [Auto off w/ VF]
(page 127).
