Mirror Lockup - Canon EOS ELAN7 Instructions Manual

Mirror Lockup
Mirror lockup is enabled with C.Fn-5-1 (->page 88). Keeping the reflex
mirror in the up position prevents mirror-caused vibrations that can blur the
image during close-up or telephoto shooting.
• When using mirror lockup. Remote Switch RS-60E3 (sold separately) is
recommended.
Press the shutter button
completely.
* The reflex mirror locks up.
* The reflex mirror will go back down
automatically after 30 seconds (if no
picture is taken).
Press the shutter button
completely again to take the
picture.
* After the picture is taken, the reflex
mirror goes back down.
W • in bright light such as at the beach or ski slope on a sunny day. take the picture
promptly after mirror lockup.
• During mirror lockup, do not point the camera lens at the sun. The sun's heat
can scorch and damage the shutter curtains.
• If you use mirror lockup with the self-timer for a bulb exposure, there will be a
shutter release sound when you let go of the shutter button during self-timer
operation. This is not the sound of the shutter release.

completely the first time will lock up the mirror and release the shutter
10
seconds later.
