Locking the Mirror Up

Setting custom function F-12 (page 6) lets you swing the mirror up before opening the shutter and starting the exposure. This eliminates the slight vibration caused by mirror shock, ensuring maximum sharpness when taking close-up photos or using super- telephoto lenses.

For best results with mirror-up shooting, use a Remote Switch RS-80N3 (available from Canon).

1 Press the Shutter button all the way to swing the mirror up.

The mirror will stay up for 30 seconds. If there is no camera operation within 30 seconds, the mirror will automatically return to its normal position without capturing an image. Pressing the Shutter button again will return the mirror to the raised position.

2 Momentarily let up on the Shutter button, then press it again completely to capture the image. The mirror returns to its normal position after the exposure is completed.

CAUTION:

When shooting outdoors on a sunny day or in a bright location such as a ski slope or a sea shore, capture the image within 30 seconds after swinging the mirror up to avoid burning the Shutter curtain.

Do not point the camera lens at direct sunlight when the mirror is in the up position to avoid burning the Shutter curtain.
