Mirror Lockup

Mirror lockup is enabled with C.Fn-5-1 (-»page 88). Keeping the reflex

mirror in the up position prevents mirror-caused vibrations that can blur the

image during close-up or telephoto shooting.

• When using mirror lockup, Remote Switch RS-60E3 (sold separately) is

recommended.

Press the shutter button

completely.

■■ The reflex mirror locks up.

• The reflex mirror will go back down

automatically after 30 seconds (if no

picture is taken).

Press the shutter button

completely again to take the

picture.

► After the picture is taken, the reflex

mirror goes back down.

In bright light such as at the beach or ski slope on a sunny day, take the picture

promptly after mirror lockup.

During mirror lockup, do not point the camera lens at the sun. The sun's heat

can scorch and damage the shutter curtains.

If you use mirror lockup with the self-timer for a bulb exposure, there will be a

shutter release sound when you let go of the shutter button during self-timer

operation. This is not the sound of the shutter release.

During mirror lockup, the film advance mode (-»page 71) will be single-frame

shooting regardless of the current film advance mode.

If mirror lockup is used with the self-timer, pressing the shutter button

completely the first lime will lock up the mirror and release the shutter 10

seconds later.
