Mirror lock-up in T7?

[MacroDave]

Hello all,

I've recently gotten back into photography as a hobby after being away from it for a lot of years. I picked up a Rebel T7 2-lens kit (plus I still have a couple of lenses from the past) and have read the manual twice, but still might have missed the answer to my question:

Does the T7 have a mirror lock-up function?

I've been reading a lot of photography books, and they all recommend locking up the mirror when using telephoto to avoid blur from the mirror shaking the camera. I was thinking that maybe the mirror locked up when Live View was being used, but I haven't verified this yet.

Thanks very much.

Hello, 

Canon says live view does not lock the mirror on a T7. I tested it and can feel the vibration. . 

Long aperture? 

Whatever.

You are clear, but wrong.

Liveview does require the miror to be up, but it is actually *worse* than mirror lockup because the mirror has to swing down  when the shutter closes and focus, and then swing back up for the shot.

In mirror lockup, you hit the button to lock up the mirror, then hit the button again to open the shutter and take the picture.

Thanks for that!

I'll put this one to bed.
