Mirror Release
Since a negligible shock will allect the
image when using a long telephoto lens or
in close-up photography, mirror-up photo-
graphy is recommended.
In mirror-up photography, previously re-
lease the mirror and operate only the lens
shutter at
the moment of taking the photo-
graph.
For mirror-up photography , pull out and
turn
the independent mirror release operat-
ing knob (32) on the lens to match the red
dot of the knob against the letter M, re-
gardless of shutter cocking condition .

Then screw a cable release into the
female screw socket in the center of the
knob .
When everything is prepared , by press-
ing the shutter release button , the mirror
and the light ballie will snap up, but the
shutter will not be released .
Then
release the shutter with the cable
release. (When you do not have a cable
release, simply turn the mirror release
operating knob to N to release the shutter.)
NOTE: U nless the mirror release operating
knob is returned to N, the camera will re-
main set for mirror-up photography. In this
case , the film will not be exposed even
when the shutter release button is pressed .
For this type of photography , an ideal
mirror-up cable release is available as an
option al accessory .
