2nd post on teach me in the same days.
I am not a big fan of very long exposures and have no idea how to use the mirror lock-up to reduce camera shake.
My understanding is, when the mirror is up the picture is being captured; as such once I press the shutter button this causes the mirror to move up and sensor starts to absorb light to register the image. I then press the shutter release button for the second time to bring down the mirror.
So, how does this reduce camera shake, since there are two pressing of the shutter release button? How do I time the duration for the exposure, should I use a stopwatch?
I know these questions may sound trivial for many, but please bear with me as Ive never used these functions and I figured today is a good day to learn.
Thanks for any feedback.
