I can confirm that the shutter fires when I engage the lever, not when I return it to normal position. I took a slo-mo vid on my phone and can see the shutter open at 1/500th right when I engage the lever. When I return the lever to normal, nothing happens. Must be a weird bug?

Hmm. looking in the camera now. Seems to be intact. What did you do to correct it? Maybe I'm not sure exactly what to look for.

Ahh, so it looks like when I engage the mirror lockup lever the camera is firing at 1/500th of a second. This happens right when I engage the lever. Then, when I press the shutter button I get a "click" sound but the shutter does not open at all. So, it is normal for the shutter to fire at 1/500th when I engage the mirror lockup lever? I was under the impression that the shutter should not fire right when I engage the lever, but rather afterwards when I press the shutter at whichever shutter speed is selected. I apologize if I'm being confusing, it is kind of tricky to explain.

Update, tried the silver oxide battery and cleaning the contacts. No luck. May bring it in to a local repair shop. I did notice that when there isn't film in the camera, the shutter only fires with the multiple exposure switch engaged. Even when I removed the back, the shutter would not fire without activating the switch. I have no idea if this is normal or not.

I'm using the shutter button. I've also tried firing it with my cable release. The process I go through: wind until shutter is cocked -> engage mirror lockup switch -> press the shutter button. When I press, all I hear is a "click," but the shutter doesn't open. However, the shutter works at all speeds while not in mirror lockup mode.

Yes, the shutter fires without the mirror locked up.

My GS-1 works perfectly other than the mirror lockup mode. I'll cock the shutter, engage the MLU lever, the mirror swings up, but when I fire the shutter, the shutter does not open. I can hear a "click" as if the mechanism is engaging but the shutter stays closed. I have tried on multiple lenses as well and end with the same result. Does anyone have any insight?
