Mirror Lockup
'*
Although using the self-timer or Remote Switch can prevent camera
shake, using mirror lockup to prevent camera vibrations (mirror shock)
can also help when you use a super telephoto lens or shoot close ups.
When [.Q,C.Fn III -13: Mirror lockup] is set to [1: Enable] (p.215),
shooting with mirror lockup will be possible.

Focus the subject, press the shutter button completely
and let go of it.
~
The mirror will swing up.
2
Press the shutter button completely again.
~
The picture is taken and the mirror goes back down.

In very bright light such as at the beach or ski slope on a sunny day, take
the picture promptly after mirror lockup.
$
Do not point the camera toward the sun. The sun's heat can scorch and
damage the shutter curtains.

If you use bulb exposures, the self-timer, and mirror lockup in
combination, keep pressing the shutter button completely (self-timer
delay time + bulb exposure time). If you let go of the shutter button
during the self-timer countdown, there will be a shutter-release sound.
However, this is not the actual shutter release (no picture is taken).
