step 3 of auto focusing.

button.
In the manual mode
This function prevents mirror-caused vibrations which may blur the image in close-up
photography, when shutter speed is slow, when a telephoto lens is used, or when photo-
graphing a poster or another picture.
When using the mirror-up, Electromagnetic Cable Release RE401 (optional) is recom-
mended.
Taking Photos with the Mirror Up

Auto bracket exposures can be made when the auto bracket mode is set before tak-
ing photos with mirror up.
The mirror goes back to the normal position in 30 seconds. This can be changed to
60 seconds or no limitation by the custom setting function. (See page 93)
Note that keeping the mirror up consumes more power.
The mirror will return to the original position if the lens is removed from the camera
body.
Caution
Do not point the lens at the sun during the mirror up mode. The sun’s
intense light can scorch and damage the shutter curtain.
