Mirror Lockup"*
Although using the self-timer or Remote Switch can prevent camera
shake, using mirror lockup to prevent camera vibrations can also help
when you use a super telephoto lens or shoot close ups.
When [.Q. C.Fn III -6: Mirror lockup] is set to [1: Enable] (p.180),
shooting with mirror lockup will be possible.
1 Focus the subject, press the shutter button completely
and release it.
• The mirror will swing up.
2 Press the shutter button completely again .
... The picture is taken and the mirror goes back down.
• In very bright light such as at the beach or ski slope on a sunny day, take
the picture promptly after mirror lockup.
• Do not point the camera toward the sun. The sun's heat can scorch and
damage the shutter curtains.
•
If you use bulb exposures, the self-timer, and mirror lockup in
combination, keep pressing the shutter button completely (self-timer
delay time
+ bulb exposure time). If you let go of the shutter button
during the 10-sec./2-sec. self-timer countdown, there will be a shutter-
release sound. This is not the actual shutter release (no picture
is taken).
[]:I When [1: Enable] is set, single shooting will take effect even if the drive
mode is set to continuous.
• When the self-timer is set to
<ij\5» or <ij\5>2>, the picture will be taken
after 10 sec. or 2 sec. respectively.
• The mirror locks up, and after 30 seconds, it will go back down
automatically. Pressing the shutter button completely again locks up the
mirror again.
• For mirror lockup shots, using the Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer
Remote Controller TC-80N3 (both sold separately)
is recommended.
•
You can also lockup the mirror and shoot with the remote controller (sold
separately, p.102). With Remote Controller
RC-1 , setting it to a 2-sec.
delay is recommended for shooting.
