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 eyepiece sensors located below the viewfinder may be activated depending on 

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 71) and [Auto off w/ VF] 
(page 136).

Using the eyepiece cover and eyecup

• Put your fingers under the eyecup, and 

slide it upward.

• When attaching the FDA-M1AM 

Magnifier (sold separately), the FDA-
A1AM Angle Finder (sold separately), 
or the FDA-ME1AM Magnifying 
Eyepiece (sold separately) to the 
camera, remove the eyecup as 
illustrated and attach them.
