Mirror Lockup to Reduce Camera ShakeN
 In very bright light such  as at the beach or a sk i slope on a sunny day, 
take the picture prompt ly after mirror lockup.
  Do not point the camera toward the su n. The sun’s heat can damage the 
camera’s internal components.
  If you use the self-timer and bulb ex posure in combination with a mirror 
lockup, keep pressing the shutter bu tton completely (self-timer delay 
time + bulb exposure time ). If you let go of the shutter button during the 
self-timer countdown, there will  be a shutter-release sound, but no 
picture will be taken.
  Even if < i> or < q> is set for drive mode, si ngle shooting will take 
effect.
  When [z 3: High ISO speed NR ] is set to [Multi Shot Noise 
Reduction ], four continuous shots will  be taken for the single picture 
regardless of the [ 5: Mirror lockup] setting.
  If 30 seconds elapse after the mirror  has locked up, it will go back down 
automatically. Pressing the  shutter button completely again locks up the 
mirror again.

The menu options below are displayed.
The functions settable on this menu 
screen only apply during Live View 
shooting. These functions do not take 
effect during viewfinder shooting.
 Live View shooting
You can set Live View shooting to [ Enable] or [Disable ].
  AF method
You can select [ u+Tracking ] (p.153), [FlexiZone - Multi ] (p.155), 
[FlexiZone - Single ] (p.156), or [Quick mode] (p.160).
  Continuous AF
The default setting is [ Enable].
Since the focus is constantly clos e to the subject, when you press 
the shutter button, the camera quickly focuses the subject. If 
[Enable ] is set, the lens will operate frequently and consume more 
battery power. This will reduce the  number of possible shots (battery 
life). Also, if the AF method is set to [ Quick mode], Continuous AF 
will be automatically set to [ Disable]. If you select another AF 
method, Continuous AF will reve rt to the original setting.
During Continuous AF, turn off the power before you set the lens’s 
focus mode switch to < MF>.
  Touch Shutter
Just by tapping the LCD monitor sc reen, you can focus and take the 
picture automatically. For details, see page 162.
  Grid display
With [Grid 1 l] or [ Grid 2 m], you can display grid lines to help 
you level the camera vertically or horizontally.
