Hello, for the left thumb button I use it as a quick temporary BiF mode switch as I assosiated it to a memory setting that will instantly switch to 1/1000, burst mode, full wide autofocus. This is very convenient in case I am walking around taking usual picture of country and bugs and then I see a bird (or a deer or rabbit) moving fast so I just press the button and shoot and once its done I release the button to go to normal.
I have set the un-zoom button as the AF-On button after a bit of trying the AE-L and some other buttons. That way, the right thumb is free to make other adjustments when shooting.
I use the AE-L button for focusing as I use back button focus and I use my left hand underneath the lens barrel and use my left thumb for that side button on the lens to as you say, unzoom it. Different strokes for different folks!
You can remove it to clean it or easier clean the viewfinder glass, also there are some third party sellers that sells a slightly bigger eyecaps that will looks like swimming glasses to fully stick around the eye and let no light come inside (but I think it is useless if you wear glasses)
In the menu under tab number five, which is indicated by an icon that looks like a toolbox, go to the second page, which is Setup2, then go down to power save time, and you can set it up where it turns the power off from 10 seconds all the way up to 30 minutes with intervals in between if you want to save your battery power. To wake up the camera again just a light press on the shutter and you’re all set to go!

You can invert the lens cap shield and screw it down so that it faces the other way / that means you don’t have to hang it in your finger
True
very useful thanks

Hi there, thanks for the video. I'm just wondering why you would want to remove the eyepiece?
I’m OCD so I just like cleaning everything
