Hi David,
I'm pretty sure it is not possible. You have to take the
picture.
Be careful, the MLU of th 67 is an electrical device, it's not
good to leave the mirror up since it can quickly drain the
battery.

When you try to shot with the battery exhausted the mirror locks
half way up. The only way to return to normal is insert a new
battery and press that little button. It will let the mirror
complete its way up and down, while losing a frame.

The manual states battery life of around 8000-10000 exposures
(mine is the 6x7 manual, though).
Hope this helps.
