However i'm very unfamiliar with its operation. when i attempt to lock the mirror it does not stay down, neither will the high/low knob rotate into the low position. is the camera broken or am i missing something? thanks for any help, larry |

The curtain will not wind if the shutter control is set to T (time). Release lever on left side of body may not be returning to home position keeping the mirror release open. The mirror may not set if the shutter I (instanteous) T (time) lever or wheel is not set to either of the positions. A link to the onlne manual is in the Reflex Help index box and can easily be found from the main page under technical information. Charles |
