5DS-Live view, manual focus, disable mirror lock-up?

Talia — Sat, 10 Oct 2015 16:31:24 GMT

I have had my 5DSR for a week now.

I am trying to figure out how to disable the mirror lock up when shooting in live view with the lens set to MF. (I have managed to disable the mirror lock up in liveview when shooting with the lens set to AF.) I know it sounds odd, but I need this for one of my series that incorporates a lot of motion.

Any help on this would be most appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi talia. I am confused by your question. LiveView is when you are seeing on the LCD what the camera sees on the sensor. To do this the mirror has to be moved up out of the way.

John,

I was so caught up in the menus for the mirror lock up that I completely lost track of that very basic fact. Thanks so much for reminding me of my oversight.
