Mirror Lockup '*
Although using the self-timer or Remote Switch can prevent camera
shake, using mirror lockup to prevent camera vibrations (mirror shock)
can also help when you use a super telephoto lens
or shoot close ups.
When [.Q,C.Fn III -13: Mirror lockup] is set to [1: Enable] (p.215),
shooting with mirror lockup will be possible.
1 Focus the subject, press the shutter button completely
and let go of it.
~ The mirror will swing up.
2 Press the shutter button completely again.
~ The picture is taken and the mirror goes back down.
4l 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.
fj 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 self-timer countdown, there will be a shutter-release sound.
However, this is not the actual shutter release (no picture
is taken).
[]:I 1$ 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-80N3 or Timer
Remote Controller TC-80N3 (both sold separately) is recommended.
@ You can also lockup the mirror and shoot with a remote controller (sold
separately,
p.11 0). With Remote Controller RC-1 , setting it to a 2-sec.
delay is recommended
for shooting.
