Actually, I saw a better implementation on a Mamiya 645AF, which had a dedicated lever for mirror lock-up. No need to enter CF mode, browse all functions until you get to the one you need, set it, exit CF mode, and then do the same after you take the shot. You just pull the lever and voil�! Instant mirror lock-up! But I have to admit that I cheated a little ;-) because the 645AF is a medium format camera, so it cannot be compared to 35mm cameras in terms of features... > I've read somewhere that on the EOS 3 there is a bit more > fiddling about than the above routine and it involves opening > the end door.

You open the door just to reach the button that enters CF mode, but the rest of the procedure is the same. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
