Mirror Lock-Up

This option is used to lock the mirror in the up position to allow inspection or cleaning of the low-pass filter that protects the image sensor. See “Technical Notes: Caring for the Camera” (185).

This option is not available at battery levels of or below, while multiple exposures are being shot, or when the camera is powered by an optional MB- D200 battery pack using AA batteries. Use a fully-charged EN-EL3e battery or an optional AC adapter. If the battery runs low while the mirror is raised, a beep will sound and the AF-assist illuminator will blink to warn you that the mirror will automatically lower in about two minutes.

Video Mode

Before connecting your camera to a video device such as a television or VCR (106), choose a video mode setting that matches the video standard used in the device.

Setup

World Time

World Time is used to set the camera clock to the current date and time ( 12).

The Clock Battery

The clock-calendar is powered by an independent, rechargeable power source, which is charged as necessary when the main batteries are installed or the camera is powered by an optional EH-6 AC adapter. Two days of charging will power the clock for about three

months. If the icon flashes in the control panel, the clock battery is exhausted and the clock has been reset to a time starting at 2005.01.01.00:00:00. Set the clock to the cor- rect date and time.
