Using the Eyepiece Cover
Even if the drive mode is set to continuous shooting, only one shot can be taken.
You can also use the self-timer or bulb timer with mirror lockup.
If 30 seconds elapse after the mirror has locked up, it will go back down
automatically. Pressing the shutter button completely locks up the mirror
again.
For mirror lockup, using a tripod and Remote Switch RS-80N3 (sold
separately) or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (sold separately) is
recommended (p.248).
You can also use a remote controller (sold separately, p.248). Setting the
remote controller to a 2-sec. delay is recommended.
When you use the self-timer, bulb, or a remote switch and do not look
through the viewfinder, stray light entering the viewfinder can cause the
picture to look dark. To prevent this, use the eyepiece cover (p.33)
attached to the camera strap.
During Live View shooting and movie shooting, attaching the eyepiece
cover is unnecessary.
