Using the self-timer <m>, <l> with mirror lockup
When you press the shutter button completely, the mirror locks up.
The picture will be then taken 10 sec. or 2 sec. later.
Remote control shooting
Since you do not touch the camera when the picture is taken, remote
control shooting together with mirror lockup can further reduce the
camera vibration blur (p.382).
With Wireless Remote Control BR-E1 (sold separately) set to the 2-
sec. delay, press the release button to lock up the mirror, and the
picture will be taken 2 sec. after the mirror lockup.
With Remote Switch RS-60E3 (sold separately), press the release
button completely to lock up the mirror, and press it completely again
to take the picture.
