MIRROR LOCK-UP

Set the “D”-Dial to the “UP” position. When you press the shutter button “Half-way” the camera will set the focus and exposure. As you press the shutter button further, the mirror will move up and the exposure value will be memorized.
Remove your finger from the shutter button and lightly press again to release the shutter.
Mirror lock-up function can be cancelled manually by turning the “D”-dial away from the “up” position.
CAUTION !!
Mirror lock up will cancel automatically, and mirror will return to its original position, after 30 seconds. You can reactivate the mirror lock-up function by pressing the shutter button “Half-way” again.
WARNING !!If you are using this function in a strong light source, there is a possibility that light entering through the lens, might degrade the image. Please refrain from using the mirror lock-up function in such an environment.
