The procedure is the same as that taken up to

step 3 of auto focusing.

1. Set the focus mode selector lever to “M”

(manual focus mode).

2. Determine the exposure, focusing and frame

structure by pressing the shutter release button

halfway while looking into the view finder.

3. Mirror up by fully pressing the shutter release

button.

In the manual mode

This function prevents mirror-caused vibrations which may blur the image in close-up

photography, when shutter speed is slow, when a telephoto lens is used, or when photo-

graphing a poster or another picture.

When using the mirror-up, Electromagnetic Cable Release RE401 (optional) is recom-

mended.

Taking Photos with the Mirror Up

1. Set the drive dial to "M.UP."

2. Select “S” (single focus mode) by turning the

focus mode selector lever.

3. Turn the exposure mode-setting dial to choose

any of “P”, “Av”, or “Tv” exposure mode.

4. Focus the subject, and determine composition

and exposure.

5. The mirror moves up when the shutter button

is fully pressed.

6. Press the shutter button again to take pictures.

Using auto focus and auto exposure

★ Auto bracket exposures can be made when the auto bracket mode is set before tak-

ing photos with mirror up.

★ The mirror goes back to the normal position in 30 seconds. This can be changed to

60 seconds or no limitation by the custom setting function. (See page 93)

Note that keeping the mirror up consumes more power.

★ The mirror will return to the original position if the lens is removed from the camera

body.

Caution

■ Do not point the lens at the sun during the mirror up mode. The sun’s

intense light can scorch and damage the shutter curtain.
