1. Use a cord or the wireless remote with mirror up. Requires 3 steps/press. First press lifts the mirror up. Second press, begins the exposure/opens the shutter. Third press closes the shutter. Mirror lock up is used for macro photography most of the time.
2. Teleconverters adds distance to your lenses. It'll take that 180mm lens and convert it to a 252mm lens at the cost of one stop of light. Your minimum focusing distance remains the same. Not sure where you derived the 40cm from.
