Eyepiece
cap
For remote
or unmanned
operation or when
the
camera is set on
a support and
used without
viewing
on automatic
mode, be sure to attach
the
eyepiece
cap
as shown.
This
will
prevent
unwanted
light from
extering through
the
eyepiece and affecting
the
meter reading
and
exposure when the eyepiece is
not being shield-
ed by the
photographer's
head,
as
it
normally
would
be.
The
eyepiece cap
has
a slot that allows
threading
it
on the
camera strap
to
avoid
loss
and
keep
it
handy for
use.
