Okay I'm not really an expert at cameras so im not sure how to fix this. I jammed the mirror on my camera while i was playing around with it. Okay here what i did (btw no film in the camera): I wound up my camera, then set the timer, pressed the button (the timer started), and before the shutter opened i locked the wind lever, then the camera made an incomplete clicking sound. So now the shutter is closed but the mirror remains up. Can anyone help me out?

Oh I forgot to add: the lever wont advance and pressing the button does nothing, and when i set the timer it immediatly starts going as if the button has been held down.

try setting the shutter dial to "B". If that releasaes the mirror, your battery needs replacing.
