It don't do mirror lock up, only shutter release on the T5!

If you really want to try some interesting stuff, check out Magic
Lantern (https://www.magiclantern.fm/) This is new code that overlays
the existing Canon software, and hugely expands the functionality.
There is a version for the T5. I used it with my 7D for the 2017 solar
eclipse, giving me a built in sequencer that cycled rapidly through a
series of different exposures. It runs directly on the memory card,
and doesn't replace the existing firmware, so it's very safe. You're
not going to brick your camera playing around with it.


Mine is the T5/1200D, not supported!

Supported cameras:
5D Mark II, 5D Mark III, 6D, 7D, 50D, 60D, 500D/T1i, 550D/T2i, 600D/T3i, 650D/T4i, 700D/T5i, 1100D/T3, EOS M.


In progress:
70D, 100D/SL1, 1200D/T5, 450D/XSi.
5D3 1.3.4, 7D 2.0.6, 550D 1.1.0, EOS M 2.0.3.
