Can the mirror be locked up while taking many shots

[rtemen]

I might be duplicating a question, but I could not actually find an answer. 

I am wondering if/how to lock the mirror up while taking a number of shots.

I use a Canon T3i (600D).

Guylain asked, in another post's response, why you would want to do this.

For me, the reason is that when I am taking 20 to 30 Flats where the exposure is a thousandth of a second, I would like to not hammer away at the mirror or the workings to raise and lower it.

I think that this cannot be done. It is a camera limitation, not a BYE limitation.

Not possible, 1 shoot = 1 mirror slap.
