Currently we can control Mirror lock-up in two ways.
Always on responds as per Canon, i.e. Two shutter presses, with the first 'just' moving the mirror.
The second being a delay when using the intervalometer.
Some other cameras allow the shooter to select a delay between the mirror going up and the shutter activating; thus reducing mirror vibration issues when not in LV mode.
So a thought. Can we introduce a user selectable delay in the ML mirror menu, say in 1/10 sec up to 1sec.
And/or bring in mirror control in Lua, unless it's there and I've missed it. My idea being, via the shutter property and/or keypress event, control the mirror and shutter through Lua.

You forgot Canon's timer action. Then you need only one shutter press, mirror goes up and after 2 or 10 seconds shutter is triggered.
I was aware of that, but thinking of reducing the delay and controlling the mirror and shutter with one press.

It's not enabled on recent models; uncomment FEATURE_MLU_HANDHELD in features.h, try and report. I did not find it effective on 5D3 and had better luck with its built-in silent mode (but it's been years since I've tried).

Great. I'll have retry compiling again ;-)

Sorry, I'm being thick. I can't find FEATURE_MLU_HANDHELD in features.h
