Mirror/Nikon 750

How do you lift the mirror out of the way in a Nikon 750 camera while taking bracking shots to reduce vibration. The camera is on a tri-pod.

There's a setting on the shutter release dial with the acronym MUP.
Leave it to digital to change the playing field. Every film camera I ever used (many) used the acronym MLU for Mirror Lock Up. Remember the phrase...... "there really is nothing new in the world".

You got that right. I had to relearn to get used to MUP also. I guess it makes sense though. I wouldn't mind having a lever like the old film winders to go to the next frame in single shot mode also. But I doubt the manufacturers will consider my wise observation!

Thank you!
Certainly. I should have mentioned that using live view also raises the mirror before the shutter is released. I've examined the difference between the two methods with an 800mm lens because the slightest hint of vibration at such a long focal length becomes obvious. I prefer MUP and then watch through the viewfinder until satisfied then release. Usually about 5 seconds. At more typical focal lengths I can't really tell the difference. Have fun.

What about 5 bracketed exposures. Will the mirror stay out of the way during each auto exposure?

Choosing MUP requires the mirror to lock up for each shot, which if you are in a situation where there is movement in your image, might result in blurring. Compose and shoot in Live View, where the mirror is locked up all the time. Put your camera on Continuous High Speed, and fire off 3 exposures rapidly.

I'd prefer "PUM" - Put Up Mirror.

On the D810 (perhaps the same options as the 750?), I would set the bracketing mode (hold down the BKT button and turn the jog dials to select both the number of exposures, and the aperture range: i.e. 3 exposures @ 2 f-stops apart), set the self timer for 2 sec, turn the program dial to timer mode, and shoot in live view. Live view will hold the mirror up, and the self timer will get you away from the camera to avoid vibration.
