subject being out of focus since focusing is performed when the shutter button is pressed 
halfway.

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.

By using the optional remote control (RM-1), you can take a picture with yourself in it or a 
night scene without touching the camera.
The camera can be set to release the shutter either right away or 2 seconds after the shutter 
button on the remote control is pressed. Bulb shooting is also possible when using the 
optional remote control.
For the setting method, see “Sequential shooting” (

gP. 57).
