Is there a way of locking up the mirror on a D3200 so that you can take sharper pictures of a tripod?
Thanks, but it seems that if a select LV (Live view) the mirror still moves up and down when I take the picture. even when I use a remote IR trigger. I want the mirror to lock up and stay up.
In D3300 there is no mirror lock up. Further when shooting still (in contrast to video) in live view, the sequence is
. Mirror down
. Mirror up
. Shutter fires
. Mirror up
I have checked this both in the manual and in the camera. Every time a shot is taken in Live View, the shutter count goes up by 2. There may be many reasons for this, but what I think is that the AF in D3xxx and D5xxx works only with the module in the view finder and not off the sensor, so the camera has to release the mirror for AF, whether you need it or not, or may be that is a feature disabled to encourage users to buy a "Higher" model at a higher price. In the same vein there is no auto bracketing, a feature that requires software only.
