4.2 Mirror Lock-up

The 'Mirror Lock-up' function is used to flip the mirror up 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 EPIC Pro '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 enabled '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 more time to settle. Choosing too
long of a lock-up time will increase your capture time.
