As far as I understand you'll need firmware v1.30 or later to use the electronic shutter and enable it in the menu.
Among the limitations of ES are:
Shake Reduction is off and cannot be turned on (not really a problem as i cannot envisage using ES iunless it is on a tripod where SR should be off anyway.
Flash cannot be used.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that for long exposures with MLU you need to mask the eyepiece to prevent light leakage but that isn't required in LV.

oh I see thanks. What do you think is the best then? Use the ES mode like you said (I didn't know that thanks) or switch to not LV after the composition and use the MLU?
I am assuming you are talking tripod shooting here.

If you use Live View you cannot select MLU because the mirror is up already. Live view is a MLU capture, with both curtains in action.
You have a further option in Live view to use ES (electronic shutter) which uses electrical signals to start the exposure, and the second curtain to finish the exposure. The first curtain stays open for this.
The ES is the best mode to avoid mirror slap/shutter shock.
