I vaguely recall a flapping mirror on one of mine. I think that was before the firmware patch that was said to fix the issue. I didn’t really pay it much attention. I had heard of the issue, immediately knew what was going on. Pulled out the battery, did a slow five-count for luck, replaced the battery and went on with my shooting with no more issue at the time or since then. I am probably at about 8-10,000 shutter activations each on that body and another one.
