Problem with Nikon D80

[POSTIE22]

I'm currently setting up my camera to take some closup indoor shots ( it's raining outside ) with my D80, using my tripod, but when i turn the camera on and go to MENU > SETTINGS and MIRROR LOCKUP i find that i cant use this setting ?? can anyone tell me why please.

Battries probably not fully charged

The D80 does not have a mirror lock up for taking pictures. The mirror lock up in the menu is to enable you to clean the sensor.

Best to use a remote release and enable CSM #31 which is exposure delay mode (delayed shutter release). This will achieve the same i.e. vibration free shots!

Hope this helps.

Already checked, batteries OK.

Thanks Dave ,I'll do that instead.

Firstly the mirror-lock up mode is only used for sensor cleaning.

The D80 doesn't have a mirror-lock up mode for tripod shooting.

And as this is strictly a cleaning mode, they want you to have a fully charged battery in case the mirror falls on your cleaning tools.

Thanks for the info.
