1-The eyecup prevents external light from entering when your eye is in contact with the eyepiece. A soft material is used to reduce the burden on the eye and the forehead.
2-The viewfinder eyepiece is a small window on the camera which you look through in order to compose your photo and establish focus on a subject. When shooting using a viewfinder, external light is reduced. This allows you to put full attention on the subject right before your eyes, which in turn makes it easier to track moving subjects.
3-LCD monitor- In addition to the shooting settings as shown in the illustration here, the captured image as well as text information such as the menu can also be displayed on the LCD monitor. Also, you can magnify the display image to check the details. Some camera models have a Vari-angle LCD monitor, which allows you to alter the angle of the monitor during Live View shooting, making it easier to capture low-angle or high-angle shots.
4-Menu- Use this button to display the menu for adjusting the different camera functions. After selecting a menu item, you can adjust the camera settings in greater detail.
5-Play Button-This is the button for playing back images you have captured. Pressing the button once displays the last image you captured or showed on the LCD monitor.
