Mirror Lock-Up
This option is used to lock the mirror in the up position
to allow inspection or cleaning of the low-pass fi lter that
protects the image sensor. See “Technical Notes: Caring
for the Camera” (
185).
This option is not available at battery levels of
or below, while multiple
exposures are being shot, or when the camera is powered by an optional MB-
D200 battery pack using AA batteries. Use a fully-charged EN-EL3e battery or
an optional AC adapter. If the battery runs low while the mirror is raised, a beep
will sound and the AF-assist illuminator will blink to warn you that the mirror will
automatically lower in about two minutes.
Video Mode
Before connecting your camera to a video device such as
a television or VCR (
106), choose a video mode setting
that matches the video standard used in the device.

months. If the

the clock has been reset to a time starting at 2005.01.01.00:00:00. Set the clock to the cor-
rect date and time.
