telephoto lenses or shooting close-ups (macro photography).

1 Focus on the subject, then press the shutter button
completely.
The mirror will swing up.
2 Press the shutter button completely again.
The picture is taken and the mirror goes back down.
After taking the picture, set [10: Mirror lockup] to [0:Disable].
Using the self-timer <Q>, <l> with mirror lockup
When you press the shutter button completely, the mirror locks up.
The picture will be then taken 10 sec. or 2 sec. later.
Remote control shooting
Since you do not touch the camera when the picture is taken, remote
control shooting together with mirror lockup can further reduce the
camera vibration blur (p.409). With Wireless Remote Control BR-E1
(sold separately) or Remote Controller RC-6 (sold separately) set to
a 2-sec. delay, press the release button (transmit button) to lock up
the mirror, and the picture will be taken 2 sec. after the mirror lockup.
