First of all, you should be aware that the only battery function on an SRT-101 is for the meter, and all the camera functions are mechanical. Beyond that I'm not familiar enough with the camera to give good detailed advice, but would suggest a couple of things. First, make sure the mirror isn't simply stuck in the up position from deteriorated foam, which can turn into a gooey glop. A little very gentle pull on the mirror might pop it loose, but be very gentle. Also, try firing it with the lens off, in case the jam is not in the camera but in the lens's aperture mechanism. Finally, also try moving the shutter speed knob around, because sometimes that will allow a sticky shutter to let go. |
