When the camera is mounted on a
tripod
for
copy
work, close-ups or tele-
photography at long (slow)
shutter
speeds, the small
amount
of vibration
due to “mirror-bounce”, which is nor-
mally
of
no consequence, may cause
blurring of the image due to the high
magnification encountered in extreme
close-ups and telephotography. Mirror
shock can be eliminated by locking the
mirror in the up position before making
the exposure.
