There's a little switch on the right hand side (when looking forward, i.e. the shutter release side) of the mirror box which locks up the mirror. It's in a portrait orientation (i.e. taller than wide) and about one centimeter long. There's a little switch on the left hand side which is the lens release button. If you're looking at a body, and the shutter is cocked, pushing up on the switch will lock up the mirror. It can only be release by pushing the shutter release or pushing the reset switch (that's the little recessed doodad). The shutter release is on the body part, *not* the mirror box, and is a small circular recessed button. You can't push it by mistake. dave -- dave o'brien - http://www.diaspoir.net Insufficient facts always invite danger. -- Spock, "Space Seed", stardate 3141.9 - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
