burak_savak Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Hi, I am stepping into medium format recently, therefore, I bought a Mamiya M645 with AE prism. Everything is fine except, when I wind the crank to clock the shutter. (there is not film in it) The mirror goes half way up and stay there till I press the shutter and it goes up fully and drops back where it is supposed to be. Is that a normal thing or my camera is broken? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed mendes Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 <p>Burak, my M645 just started doing this as well. Its not normal and I'm not sure what causes it. I first thought it was a battery problem but replacing it didn't do anything. The camera still functions well its just a little irritating. A work around is to compose the image with the mirror down, then lock up the mirror and wind the camera to the next frame. If your camera is doing the exact same thing as mind the shutter will fire as soon as the film is completely advanced to the next frame.<br><br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
