Ollie,

I have just downloaded the user manual for the D50. It appears at first glance that the mirror lock facility you refer to may be for cleaning the low pass filter. Page 116.

I will have a more thorough read tomorrow but as that is the only reference I can find in the index, I doubt you have a mirror up mode, and using the self timer may be the way to go. See page 100.
