Long zoom - improving sharpness?
It is a setting in one of the cameras custom functions.
I see you use the 300D. I don't think it has that function on it as standard. However you can flash the firmware on your camera to give it the functions of the 10D camera which allows the mirror lock up.
It is called the " Wasia Hack " just Google for more info on it.
Loads of folk have used the hack on their 300D without any problems. However I would imagine it would invalidate your warranty. But in saying that there are loads of stories on the net about folk returning their 300D's to Canon for repair (not through hacking the firmware I hasten to add) and Canon turning a blind eye to it or returning the camera fixed and re flashed with the original software.
It is simple to flash the camera and just as easy to go back to the original firmware if you don't like it.

It is just a file format that has been compressed to make the file smaller.
Rar info. So you just want to put it back to its original state by unpacking it. You might already have this on your PC. What happens when you double click on the RAR file?
If it doesn't unpack then use something like this

There are a couple of nice features in the hack.
Mirror lock as others say is handy, as is the ability to switch between RAW and JPEG by holding down the set button and turning the comand wheel. Then Flash exposure compensation is also good.
I have been using the hack for about 2 years, no problems seen.

Thanks John, would I be right in saying that it's not very effective when using a long lens shoting wildlife (as this thread started out asking) due to the fact that you generally have to be quite fast with wildlife and mirror lock up takes a couple of seconds to initiate? Paul
No real secret Steven, lpads of staring at the monitor trying to envisage what would look best in what area of the montage. I used the clone tool quite a bit on this one set at 50% and lower. This allowed some of the underlying layer to show through and blend nicely. When using the clone tool between layers, first highlight the layer you wish to clone from, alt/click to select the area, then highlight the layer you want to clone to (with the opacity set to 50% max) and clone away. Lots of highlighting between layers but it works. Thats probably as clear as mud but if I can be of any help specifically give me a shout. PAul

Got absolutely nowhere with this. Downloaded from the link and also downloadrd rar "unzipper".
When I tried opening the hack I just got kept getting info windows saying files corrupt.
