Pushing the 'diaphragm control lever' lowers the shutter and of course releasing it the mirror comes back up again. My multimeter says the batteries are good and the red LEDs light up. There's lots of threads addressing stuck mirrors and shutters on the x-series suggesting the camera should be reset. How do I do that before I go about delving into it and replacing the 220uF cap? I understand Henry knows how to do this! Can anyone help? Thanks
