mirror lockup support?

I can't find it now, but there was an old thread (2 years ago?) about MLU not working with remote software, at least with newer cameras. Is this still true? What cameras work with MLU?

Thanks,

Jeff

It's always been possible to to use MLU provided the shutter is released from the camera (using the shutter release button or remote cable release) and not from the computer. The latest cameras still don't allow the computer to release the shutter when MLU is enabled, but you can achieve the same effect by using live view. When live view is active the mirror flips up and doesn't flip back down when you take a photo.
Currently only the 40D, 1D Mark III and 1Ds Mark III support live view.
