4.4 Mirror Lock-Up

The "Mirror Lock-Up" function is used to flip up the mirror and wait a programmable delay
that is independent of the "Time/Exposure" delay before actuating the shutter. "Mirror
Lock-Up" is especially important for longer focal length lenses that are larger and heavier.
The longer focal length indirectly means that the magnification is greater and that any lens
movement is magnified more, and more likely to cause blurry photographs.
1. Select the "Options" submenu from the main menu
2. Select the "Mirror Lock-Up" menu item and press "OK"
3. Select the value "ON" and press "OK"
4. The menu item "Lock-Up Time" will appear once you have enable "Mirror Lock-Up",
select "Lock-Up Time" and press "OK"
5. Choose a value that is appropriate for the stability of your lens size and mass, and press
"OK". A larger and heavier lens will require mote time to settle. Choosing too long of a lock-
up time will increase your capture time.
