4.4 Taking photos with the mirror up
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 photographing a poster or another
picture.
When using the mirror-up, Electromagnetic Cable Release RE401
(optional) is recommended.
1. Set the drive dial to “M.UP”
2. Select “S” (single focus mode) by turning the focus mode selector lever.
3. Turn the exposure mode-setting dial to choose any of “P”, “Av” or
“Tv” exposure mode.
4. Focus the subject, and determine composition and exposure
5. The mirror moves up when the shutter button is fully pressed.
6. Pres the shutter button again to take pictures.
In the manual mode
1. Set the focus mode selector lever at “M” (manual focus mode)
position. Turn the lens-focusing ring to focus.
2. Determine the exposure, focusing and frame structure by pressing
the shutter release button halfway while looking into the view nder.
3. Lock the mirror up by pressing the mirror-up button.
NOTICE:
Auto bracketing exposures can be
made when the auto bracketing
mode is set before taking 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 function .
(See page 89) Keeping the mirror up
consumes more power.
The mirror will return to the original
position if the lens is removed from
the camera body.
