[QUOTE="Jet Jockey, post: 167973, member: 15381"] Thank you both for your answers... I guess I should have asked the question in a different way but after experimenting in the room I figured it out... I either have the choice of using the "Remote" or Mirror Up" setting. Originally I thought I could select the "Mirror Up" and that it would still allow me to use the "Remote" to take the pictures. From my testing this is how it works... With the camera set in "[B]Manual" [/B]mode and the dial set to [B]"Remote"[/B] whether I'm using the viewfinder or the live view function the remote triggers the mirror to go up at the first selection and at the second selection of the remote the shutter opens and stays open until the pre-selected time as elapsed. With the camera set in "[B]Manual" [/B]mode and the dial set to [B]"Mirror UP", [/B]again whether I'm using the view finder or the live view function, I have to trigger the mirror to the up position myself by using the normal shutter release once and them open the shutter by depressing it again. The shutter will close when the pre-selected time as elapsed. [B]The remote will not function in this mode.[/B] I plan on using the camera in "Manual" mode with an ISO set at 100. The F stop will be set between F10 and F14 with the elapsed time between 2 and 3 seconds for the exposures. [/QUOTE]
