Tim, the way I use it for weddings is to trip it up with the front grip Mirror Release button after focusing and composing ... most of the time I can then just watch the action at the altar and trip the shutter at peak times ... often using the electronic release cable to minimize any vibration for lower shutter speeds ... which I time to lulls in the action. They aren't playing soccer up there so it works pretty well. It stays up until I trip that grip button again ... which I can do when the time is right,Thanks for the pictures really impressed with the level of recovery in both files - thanks for the wedding pic gives a really good idea of what can be done handheld.
Marc - Are you saying with the mirror lock up its locked up the whole time or like on a slr where you lock it up and it releases when you take your finger off the button so you choose when to release it ?

or I need to re-compose.
I've used this technique even hand held from time to time ... as long as I'm steady : -)
