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.
o • 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.l2-sec. self-timer countdown, there will be a shutter-
r~I~~s~ sound. This is not the actual shutter release (no picture is taken).
lj • 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 < ~ > or < ~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-BON3 or Timer
Remote Controller TC-80N3 (both sold separately)
is recommended.
