Do you have custom function 5 enabled (i.e. set to 1)?

5. Mirror-Lock and Self-Timer
0: Enables normal self-timer and remote-control operation 
1: Enables the shutter release button to lock up the mirror and release the
shutter two seconds later (Mirror-Lock is also possible with the optional
Remote Controller RC-1)  

If so, reset it to 0.

Stefan.
