Mirror Up Photography
Mirror up photography is ideal for situations in which camera shake
is likely. Press the shutter release button once to raise mirror, and
press again to take the photograph.
1
While pressing the film advance mode
selector lock release, set the film advance
mode selector to M-UP (mirror up).
2
Compose picture, focus and press the
shutter release button to raise the mirror.
• In AF operation, exposure and focus are locked
just before the mirror is raised, and framing
cannot be confirmed in the viewfinder while
the mirror is raised.
3
Press the shutter release button again to release the shutter. The mirror
returns to original position.
• Canceling mirror up mode
• Set the film advance mode selector to a position other than M-UP after releasing
the shutter. (Mirror up mode is canceled by the same operation while the mirror is
up; however, shutter is released automatically and film advances by one frame.)
• In the following situations, the shutter is automatically released and film advances
by one frame but mirror up mode is not canceled:
• Approx. 30 sec. after mirror is raised
• Camera power is turned off
Cautions in mirror up photography
• Do not leave the camera in M-UP mode under sunlight, especially when using a
large-diameter lens. The shutter curtain could be burned.
• When the R1 button is pressed while mirror is up, the shutter is released, Err
blinks in the top LCD panel and viewfinder, and ERR is displayed in the rear LCD
panel. Depress the shutter release button to turn off these warnings (film advances
by one frame but the frame counter remains unchanged).
Use of a Remote Cord MC-20 or MC-30 reduces camera shake even more in
mirror up photography (x 171).
