I pulled out the camera on Saturday after a few days (ok, a week) of  
it sitting around unused and a couple of times when I went to use it  
the first images came out like this:

The camera is in "portrait" orientation rotated to the left, so the  
stripe of image which is visible is on the "bottom" of the frame.

Seconds later, after turning the camera off/on and wondering what the  
hell is going on, I get this:

..and it functioned perfectly for the rest of the day and 100+ shots.

Does anyone know what would cause this?  My only thought was that the  
mirror could have had problems and been getting in the way, but due to  
the way that an image "flips" on its way to the sensor, doesn't that  
mean I should only have seen a stripe of exposure on the TOP of the  
picture, not the bottom?
