You can prevent light from entering through the viewfinder and affecting
the exposure. When the shutter is released without the use of the
viewfinder, 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 117).
