The speedlight slides in and makes contact with the camera.
There are little contacts there on the camera.
what would you call that small piece of plastic that covers those contacts?
I lost mine, can't seem to find it on the nikon site parts list
I'm sure its there , I just can't seem to find it. Or I may cut a piece of plastic from a milk jug and stick it in there.

I agree, willikioti .... None of my cameras have them anymore. It's been years....never missed them either!

I admit to being a little surprised by some of the above comments. If you are shooting Live View, you really need these eyepiece covers to prevent stray light entering and messing up the exposure.

I seldom use mine but 5 for 30 cents was hard to refuse, especially since I had eBay "bucks" to spend.
