Well probably most of you have standart 10 sec trigger built in your camera. This makes sense when you want to make a photo of yourself standing with family, etc. However you might also notice strange 2 sec trigger mode. When is it usefull? Well... If you try to do more shoots in bad light conditions you starting to notice that any camera movement leads to nasty blurry image (of course not only camera movement, but lets focus on that part). Best thing you could do in that situation is to use a tripod. However you might still be affected of a slight camera movement during pressing a trigger. Go check this on your camera, and see how stable it is when you press shutter trigger. This effect is still visible on tripod (unless you have super steady hands). In that situations 2 sec trigger mode is best what you can get. Its enough time to stabilize camera and to get almost perfect shot. It's also usefull even without tripod to add little stabilization from your hands.
If the stability gain this way is not enough for you, there is still a small advantage you could get from, so called, Mirror Lock-Up. This option in some cameras makes sure that a mirror movement will be stopped before getting shoot. It's just a mechanical part that when moving might shake camera a little. However this way you will not gain as much you could expect (still if a sharpness is a key, you might consider have this turned on).
Only problem with those techniques is that you make a photo slighty later than you want. In some situations you might lose whole mood of a scene, so please use this tip with caution.
