Exposure delay mode introduces a delay of about one second
after the Shutter-release button is pressed—and the reflex
mirror raised—before the shutter is actually released.
Hopefully, during the one-second delay, camera vibrations
will die down and the image will be sharper.
There are two settings available in Exposure delay mode (see
Figure 4-45):
▪ On – The camera first raises the reflex (viewing) mirror
and then waits about one second before firing the shutter.
This allows the vibrations from the mirror movement to
dissipate before the shutter fires. Of course, this won’t be
useful at all for shooting anything moving, or for any
type of action shots. But for slow shooters of static
scenes, this is great and keeps you from having to use
Mirror-Up (MUP), which requires two Shutter-release
button presses to take a picture. It has the same effect as
MUP, but only requires one Shutter-release button press
and a one-second delay.
▪ Off – The shutter has no delay when this setting is
turned off.
Here are the screens and steps used to configure Exposure
delay mode (Figure 4-45):
