Introdução
Sometimes, a jammed camera can be remedied by addressing the mechanisms directly under the bottom cover.
- If the mirror fails to return after an exposure, causing the viewfinder to black out, try pushing the mirror release lever to the right. This will allow the mirror actuator lever to fall and the mirror to return to the viewing position.
- If the release button fails to fire the shutter, check the mirror actuator lever, the black bar that travels in the slot. Sometimes it can slip off the release lever between exposures. Push it up until it is caught by the release lever again.
Even though these simple fixes can get your camera shooting again, be aware that they are signs of old and dirty mechanisms. Your camera probably needs a more in depth cleaning in order to perform reliably.

-
At the end of an exposure, the large black gear pushes the release lever, returning the mirror to the viewing position.
