This stands for Mirror UP. Try this mode. I plan to shot the eclipse with a D7000, in MUP mode with a remote shutter release. I have a circular ND filter... which I've read is both safe and not safe. Hopefully I won't go blind....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-40617588948939562812012-05-16T00:55:25.299-06:002012-05-16T00:55:25.299-06:00Don't trust the "infinity" setting w...Don't trust the "infinity" setting without testing it.

You try for best focus, then flip the mirror out of the way and fire the shutter. The mirror cycling as with normal photography can induce a good bit of vibration in the camera, ruining critical focus, especially when using a telephoto lens, which a telescope basically is.Darrellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-10059806687361569672012-05-13T08:07:01.737-06:002012-05-13T08:07:01.737-06:00Probably, but I am sure that they don't call i...Probably, but I am sure that they don't call it by that name.
