Mirror Lockup To Reduce Camera Shake - Canon Rebel SL1 EOS 100D Instruction Manual

Mirror Lockup to Reduce Camera Shake _
The camera's mechanical shake caused by the reflex mirror action can
blur images taken with a super telephoto lens or close-up (macro) lens.
In such cases, mirror Iockup is effective.
Mirror Iockup is enabled by setting [5: Mirror Iockup] to [1 : Enable]
in [t'4: Custom Functions (C,Fn)] (p.302).
Focus the subject, then press the shutter button
completely,
The mirror will swing up.
Press the shutter button completely again.

Since you do not touch the camera when the picture is taken, remote
control shooting together with mirror Iockup can further prevent
camera shake (p.309). With Remote Controller RC-6 (sold
separately) set to a 2-sec. delay, press the transmit button and the
mirror will lock up before the picture is taken 2 sec. later.
