[QUOTE="Tom, post: 229200, member: 18426"] Rico, Thank you for your brilliant solution. Had the same problem, "Err Press shutter release again", and at first thought a circuit board was fried. I lost an entire weekend of my daughter's travel meet. When we got home, I gathered up my receipt and warranty (the camera, a D5100, is only about 6 months old) with the expectation that it was going back to Nikon. On a flier, I did a search for similar problems, found a lot, found a lot of unappealing solutions (WD-40 inside a camera didn't seem like a good idea) and stumbled on your post by chance. Looking carefully at your later posted pictures, it seemed like I had a similar problem. Your solution worked like a charm and didn't take a neurosurgeon to free the mirror. Your insight should really be part of the D5100 User Manual--or perhaps a Survivors Manual. Tom [/QUOTE]
