Originally posted by mcgregni My K7 came with a little viewfinder cover to block the light entering. This is the traditional way when shooting on a tripod with cable release or remote when your own body is away from the camera. A bit fiddly, but effective I guess.
Yes I am now taking it that they intended for it to be covered and I use my thumb to cover it when metering , but I havn't been getting very consistent results and think now that it may be the various lens at fault. Isn't it a shame the camera doesn't have an incidence reading option for manual operation. I must get around to getting a grey lenscap for that purpose.
