In any camera with a horizontal shutter (and sometimes those with a vertical shutter) when the mirror fails to return to the viewing position after the release cycle is completed, generally means only one thing; the second curtain is not releasing the latch mechanism holding the mirror in the 'up' position. In your case it appears that the second curtain isn't running off at all?? If this is correct then there is probably some obstruction on the gear that sits on top of the second curtain shaft. To inspect it you will have to remove the top cover on the wind-on side of the camera. If the shutter appears to function normally the next place to check is under the baseplate. You will have to remove the 2 cover plates and the tripod screw plate to get a good view of levers and latches. Don't attempt any disassembly, but there may be something obvious. |
