02. How to lock mirror up and use a delay for loose diamond photography
In Macro photography, with a 100mm lens, it
makes sense to lock the mirror in the up position and to add a delay to the
shooting process. These two settings need to be enabled and used at the same
time. The settings required for enabling
both of these features on a Canon camera are discussed below.
To
set Mirror Up
- Go to Camera
settings:
- Click Option -> Custom
Functions(C.Fn) -> C.FnIII: Autofocus/Drive (Mirror lockup)
- Select 1:Enable
- Then go to Drive
mode and set the Self-Timer to 2 sec
