I used a flash coupler and flash with it for the first time yesterday and I noticed today that the mirror, while moving to a downward position when I wind for a picture, is staying up once I hit the button to take the picture. I have to wind again in order for the mirror to return to the original downward position. The foam is in place and in good condition at the top of the mirror..so I have no idea what to do beyond that. Should I bring it to a tech or is there an easy solution? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!! I'm uploading a pictures to help show the problem. . You can see the mirror stays at the top instead of returning to the original position when I press the button to take the picture. (
