Mirror LockupN Mirror lockup is enabled with C.Fn-7 [Mirror lockup] set to [1: Enable] (p.150). The mirror can be swung up separately from when the exposure is made. This prevents mirror vibrations which may blur the image during close-ups or when a super telephoto lens is used. Set Custom Functions with [b Custom Functions (C.Fn)]. 1 Press the shutter button completely. s The mirror will swing up. 2 Again press the shutter button completely. s The picture is taken and the mirror goes back down. ¡ In very bright places such as at the beach or ski ground 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 bulb exposures, the self-timer, and mirror lockup in combination, keep pressing the shutter button completely (2 sec. selftimer + bulb exposure time). During the 2-sec. self-timer countdown, if you let go of the shutter button, there will be a shutter-release sound. This is not the shutter being released (no picture is taken). ¡ During mirror lockup, the drive mode will be set to single shooting regardless of the current drive mode setting (single or continuous). ¡ If you use the self-timer and mirror lockup, press the shutter button completely and the shot will be taken 2 sec. after the mirror goes up. ¡ The mirror locks up, and after 30 seconds, it will go back down automatically. Pressing the shutter button completely again locks up the mirror again. ¡ For mirror lockup shots, using Remote Switch RS-60E3 (optional) is recommended. ¡ Remote Controller RC-5 (optional) can also be used for mirror lockup shots.
