Hey Steve, Good catch. I already knew that, but it was only through some digging for about two days that I found it. I had the cover that came with the camera, but no clue as to what or how to use it. It was included and called a viewfinder cover, so I had to use it. Before finding the information you listed, I had figured it was just something to keep the viewfinder clean while storing the camera. Ha! Have you ever tried to put the cap on with the rubber eyepiece in place. That is what I was trying to do, before I found the info in the "Reference Manual". I really don't know why they even send a "Users Manual". They should call it a "Quick Start" manual. Ha! I wish they would send the reference manual in print form, also. Oh well, off of my soapbox on the manuals.
