Mirror Lock=up to Reduce Camera Shake* _

The camera's mechanical shake caused by the reflex mirror action can blur images taken with a super telephoto lens or close-up (macro) lens. in such cases, mirror Iockup is effective.

Mirror Iockup is enabled by setting [8: Mirror Iockup] to [1: Enable] in the [_'_Custom Functions (C.Fn)] (p.255).

'_ Focus the subject, then press the shutter button completely. b The mirror will swing up.

_ Press the shutter button completely again.

b_ The picture is taken and the mirror goes back down.

_, After taking the picture, set [8: Mirror Iockup] to [0: Disable].

-'._ Shooting Tips

®Using the self=timer <_®> <_2> with mirror Iockup,

When you press the shutter button completely, the mirror locks up, then the picture is taken 10 sec. or 2 sec. later.

®Remote control shooting.

Since you do not touch the camera when the picture is taken, remote control shooting together with mirror Iockup can further prevent camera shake (p.261). With Remote Controller RC-6 (sold separately) set to a 2-sec. delay, press the transmit button and the mirror will Iockup before the picture is taken 2 sec. later.

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

Lakethe picture promptly after mirror lockup.
