Nikon 1799 instruction manual Mirror Up Photography, Canceling mirror up mode

Mirror Up Photography

Mirror up photography is ideal for situations in which camera shake is likely. Press the shutter release button once to raise mirror, and press again to take the photograph.

1 While pressing the film advance mode selector lock release, set the film advance mode selector to M-UP(mirror up).

2 Compose picture, focus and press the shutter release button to raise the mirror.

• In AF operation, exposure and focus are locked just before the mirror is raised, and framing cannot be confirmed in the viewfinder while the mirror is raised.

3 Press the shutter release button again to release the shutter. The mirror returns to original position.

•Canceling mirror up mode

•Set the film advance mode selector to a position other than M-UP after releasing the shutter. (Mirror up mode is canceled by the same operation while the mirror is up; however, shutter is released automatically and film advances by one frame.)

•In the following situations, the shutter is automatically released and film advances by one frame but mirror up mode is not canceled:

•Approx. 30 sec. after mirror is raised

•Camera power is turned off

Cautions in mirror up photography

•Do not leave the camera in M-UP mode under sunlight, especially when using a large-diameter lens. The shutter curtain could be burned.

•When the R1 button is pressed while mirror is up, the shutter is released, Err blinks in the top LCD panel and viewfinder, and ERR is displayed in the rear LCD panel. Depress the shutter release button to turn off these warnings (film advances by one frame but the frame counter remains unchanged).

Use of a Remote Cord MC-20 or MC-30 reduces camera shake even more in mirror up photography (x 171).
