Mirror Lockup Mirror lockup is enabled with C.Fn-12-1. (→p.149) This prevents mirror-caused vibrations which may blur the image during close-ups or when a super telephoto lens is used. To set this Custom Function, see "Setting a Custom Function" on page 145. When mirror lockup is set, the camera operates as follows. 1 Press the shutter button fully. s The mirror will lock up. • After 30 seconds, it will go back down automatically. 2 •Press the shutter button fully again. The image will be captured and the mirror will go back down. • To take another shot with mirror lockup, start from step 1 again. • In very bright light such as at the beach or ski ground on a sunny day, shoot 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 release the shutter button during self-timer operation. This is not the sound of the actual shutter release. • When using mirror lockup, Remote Switch RS-80N3 (optional) is recommended. (→p.76) • During mirror lockup, the single drive mode will take effect regardless of the current drive mode setting. • If the self-timer is used with mirror lockup, pressing the shutter button fully the first time will lock up the mirror, then the shot will be taken 2 seconds later. LCD Panel Illumination LCD panel illumination is provided. The < > button turns the illumination of the LCD panel on or off. The illumination stays on for 6 sec. If you shoot while the panel is illuminated, the illumination will turn off 2 seconds after shooting. If you take a bulb exposure while the panel is illuminated, the illumination will turn off immediately. The illumination will remain on if you press any button for shooting or the Mode dial. 94
