“Lock It or Lose It!”
|
How stupid is that? But, there’s an easy solution, use Live View with the 2 second self-timer! In fact, for those shots of 1/60th sec to several seconds simply use Live View with MLU! In Live View the mirror locks up and 2 seconds later the three shots fire off in rapid succession just like without MLU. The same is true for a single photo.
Finally, controlled lab tests using different focal length lenses, shutter speeds, and apertures have shown that with a very stable tripod and ball-head there was no difference in image sharpness with or without Mirror Lock up. Of course, the tripod and ball head costs more that your DLSR and lens. |
