is it possible to defeat the 30minute time limit on having the mirror locked up?

Hello all,

Currently when setting up a mkIII and previewing the image (live view), the mirror will only stay locked up for 30 minutes.  At 30 minute, the mirror slaps back down and I can no longer monitor the scene.  I'm wondering if there is a way in ML to keep the mirror locked up indefinitely?

Basically, I want to use the 5dMKIII to feed an image to an external recorder/switcher and not record anything to camera media at all.  I can get it all set up and feed an image to the secondary device through the HDMI out, but at 30 minutes mirror slaps back down and my image is lost.  any ideas?  Thanks!

Yes, it is, but you have to do some scary things like... you know... reading the FAQ.

Thanks, I must've overlooked that since I wasn't looking to actually record to camera.  Thanks for the heads up.  Sorry 'bout that. Now to figure out how to make the half shutter  "sticky".
