D100 and mirror lockup with self timer?

[macgregor_anderson]

I see on the D100 menu a greyed out selection offering mirror

lockup. I can't select it. I am unable to find a menu option for

prefiring the mirror when using self timer. Is there no way to lock

this mirror on this camera unless it's for cleaning and is attached

to a computer and Nikon Capture?

 

I figured this would be in the archives but I wasn't able to find

it. Also checked Nikon's site and didn't get far. I maybe should

have searched more but I have a very slow internet connection right

now.

 

Thanks for any help.

I may have answered my own question after reading a dpreview review. Looks like anti-shock setting is what you need to select. Apologies. Hope it helps someone else out.

MGA, since I rarely shoot moving subjects, I use the mirror-up mode all the time.

The menu selection for mirror lock-up is for sensor cleaning. It's only available when

the camera is connected to the AC adapter.

I don't have an AC adapter, but do need to clean my sensor. It will only take a minute, and I'm willing to fully drain my battery to do it, I've got a reserve battery on hand. Now what?

Roger, put the camera in bulb and hold the button down while cleaning (or use a remote release).
