Hello,

I would like to ask you for your help.

I have changed the batteries for my Olympus
OM-40 for the wrong one (flat batteries) and didnt realize that. I took the picture (bulb mode without metering) and mirror slapped for bulb.

The problem is that it does not want to slap back to default position. I have found this in Q&A in manual :

Q: The mirror does not spring back.
A: Check the batteries. If the batteries are in good condition, and in case the mirror should not spring back or the shutter should not close, the safety mechanism will operate to return them to their original position.

but it does not work for me.

Please can you help me what to do to return mirror back to normal position.

Thank you very much.

Kind regards,

Fero Novak
