I can cock the leaver and press the shutter on white but the mirror sticks. Only way to release it (lever then won't wind on) is if I change the shutter to orange.

Lens and body cocked, new battery. Have been through the manual several times to try and figure it out. It's a new camera given to me by a friend who hasn't used it for a long time (several years).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks

This camera is fiendishly complicated when learning to use, thank you!

Thats great it was something simple.
Terrible camera, fantastic lenses.
A good tip is to use a cable release on the lens and fire it after you fire the camera to stop camera shake, or use speeds 125th or faster.

On this, we will have to disagree .
But it is a demanding camera, which can yield wonderful results (with those lenses) if you become sufficiently familiar with it, and your intended use is suited to its size.
The RB67 (which I have more experience with) is similar.

I just want Megan to know its ok to swear at it, they can be temperamental, I refer to mine as Veruca, we often have disagreements, I have on occasions been tempted to throw mine off a bridge, but we dont do that, because when she wants to she can produce amazing pictures and all is forgiven.
