Mirror Lockup
★
Mirror lockup is enabled with C.Fn-05-1.This prevents mirror-caused
vibrations which may blur the image during close-ups or when a
telephoto lens is used.To set this Custom Function, see “Setting a
Custom Function” on page 84. When mirror lockup is set, the camera
operates as follows.
1
Press the shutter button fully.
s
The mirror will lock up.
s
After 30 seconds, it will go back down
automatically.
2
Press the shutter button fully
again.
s
The picture will be taken and the
mirror will go back down.
•
To take another shot with mirror
lockup, start from step 1 again.
• If you are shooting a very bright scene such as the beach or ski slope with
mirror lockup, take the picture promptly after the mirror goes up.
• During mirror lockup, do not point the lens toward the sun. Doing so may
damage the shutter curtains due to the sun’s heat.
• If you use mirror lockup with the self-timer for a bulb exposure, keep pressing
the shutter button completely (10-sec. self-timer + bulb exposure). If you let
go of the shutter button during the self-timer, there will be a shutter-release
sound. It is not the shutter release.
• For mirror lockup, using the Remote Switch RS-60E3 or Remote Controller
RC-1/RC-5 (both sold separately) is recommended.
• During mirror lockup, the film advance mode will be Single even if it is set to
<H>.
• If mirror lockup is used with the self-timer, pressing the shutter button fully
will lock up the mirror first and the picture will be taken 10 sec. later.
