Mirror Lockup to Reduce Camera Vibration Blur
N
180
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun
or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image
sensor or the camera’s internal components.
In very bright light, such as at the beach or a ski slope on a sunny day,
take the picture promptly after mirror lockup is stabilized.
When shooting with mirror lockup, if you use both the self-timer and bulb
exposures, keep pressing the shutter button completely (for self-timer
delay time + bulb exposure time). If you let go of the shutter button
during the self-timer countdown, there will be a shutter-release sound,
but no picture will be taken.
During mirror lockup, shooting function settings, menu operations, etc.
are disabled.
When you use flash, the red-eye reduction lamp will not light up (p.183).
Even if you set the drive mode to <
i
>, <
M
>, or <
q
>, the camera
will still shoot in single shooting mode.
When [
z
4: High ISO speed NR
] is set to [
Multi Shot Noise
Reduction
], four consecutive shots will be taken for a single picture
regardless of the [
6: Mirror lockup
] setting.
If approx. 30 sec. elapse after the mirror has locked up, it will go back
down automatically. Pressing the shutter button completely locks up the
mirror again.
When shooting with mirror lockup, using a tripod and Wireless Remote
Control BR-E1 (sold separately, p.382) or Remote Switch RS-60E3 (sold
separately, p.385) is recommended.
