Troubleshooting

Eyecup feels loose

Ensure the eyecup is fully seated on the camera's viewfinder mount. Realign and apply firm, even pressure until it locks into place. Check for any debris on the mount that might be preventing a secure fit.

Difficulty attaching the eyecup

Gently twist and push the eyecup onto the viewfinder mount. Ensure you are using the correct camera model as specified for compatibility. Sometimes a slight wiggling motion can help it seat properly.

Discomfort during use

Ensure the eyecup is clean. If discomfort persists, it might be due to personal preference or how you position your eye. Try adjusting your shooting posture or experimenting with slightly different angles when looking through the viewfinder.
