[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I discovered this morning that in addition to the pea-flicking method of pre-releasing a Leicaflex's mirror, my SL2's mirror can be pre-released by pressing the shutter release while holding the DOF preview button in. This flips the mirror up without releasing the shutter. Then, letting go of the DOF preview, the shutter can be fired using the shutter release. Since my SL2 is of the "needs TLC" variety I don't know if this is normal. Can other SL2 users verify? If it's normal, is it documented in the user's manual?
