So I made all kinds of setting changes to see if that would make a difference. Manual Mode. Nope. Shutter Priority. Nope. I switched from Auto-focus to Manual focus. Nope. Tried the Quiet Mode. Nope. I changed all kinds of buttons, but nothing worked. The battery had more than a 50% charge left on it (actually looked to be @70%). I even put a lens on the camera, took a few pics (it worked fine), removed the lens, then tried to put it into Mirror Lock-Up again. Nope. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite4" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":mad:" /> Grrr....So I got out David Busch's book on the D600 to see what he had to say about Mirror Lock-Up. According to him, the camera needs a battery with at least a 60% charge on it to enable Mirror Lock-Up. Mine looked to be @70% charged so I'm hoping that is the problem--the battery is being charged right now.  Will let you know if that is the solution. Just hope this serves as a heads-up for others!</blockquote>
