[QUOTE="nickt, post: 236588, member: 4923"] I see. I don't know the cost of repair. maybe you can email a photo to Nikon and get an estimate. I have never been through the repair process. You would probably have to ship it somewhere so figure that cost in too. I would try the mirror lock up as mentioned and see if you can observe any sticking to see if it is a mirror problem. You can also snap pictures in M mode with no lens attached and observe the mirror motion. At rest it is at a 45 degree slant. I think if it was not resting properly, you would have a viewfinder problem too. When it goes up for cleaning or for a picture, it should be flat against the top area and fully out out of view, except for the underside. I think it may not be going fully up in your case. No idea what to do if it does not go fully up, but at least you can confirm its a mirror problem and seek out more specific info. [/QUOTE]
