To prevent light entering via the viewfinder from appearing in the 
photograph or interfering with exposure, we recommend that you 
cover the viewfinder with your hand or other objects such as an 
optional eyepiece cap (

0 268) when taking pictures without your eye 

to the viewfinder. To attach the cap, remove the rubber eyecup (q) 
and insert the cap as shown (w). Hold the camera firmly when 
removing the rubber eyecup.

Before taking a photograph with the flash in modes that require the 
flash to be raised manually, press the 

M (Y) button to raise the flash 

and wait for the

Shooting will be interrupted if the flash is raised after the self-timer has 
started.
