Q mode takes the photo when you press, only bringing the mirror back when you let go of the shutter button. The Mup mode raises the mirror first, but without taking the photo, then after about 25 seconds (more or less) takes the photo, or you can press the shutter button again to take the photo. I wish there was menu option to control this waiting time, but AFAIK there isn't.So Q mode doesn't completely remove the vibration when taking the photo, it just makes reduces it. The Mup mode removes it (I think a few seconds is enough), but if you don't want to wait so long you have to press the shutter again which can cause some camera movement blur.So what I do on a tripod is use a the Mup delay option from the menu. This is seperate from the Mup on the mode wheel. You can choose 1, 2 or 3 seconds delay, which I choose 3. Then I choose 2 or 5 seconds delay for the timer and use the timer mode. Then when I press the shutter, what happens is after my chosen wait (2 or 5 seconds) it raises the mirror, then after 3 more seconds it takes the photo. I found this to be enough time to practically remove vibrations form the mirror and any camera movement, and it saves a few seconds per shot. It saves more time especially if I'm staying in the menu Mup delay option, since I don't have to bother with it. If I have to constantly change that mode on and off, it saves less time because moving the mode wheel to Mup and back is faster (only a couple of seconds though).I hope this helps.</blockquote>
