Z1 Shutter Does Not Release

Hi There,

The mirror on my beloved Z1 has locked up. the first time this happened I'd inadvertantly selected self-timer whilst in manual mode with bulb(!). A quick look at the trouble shooting section of the manual sorted that one out. The second time self-timer had not been selected, the battery is OK, and no amount of fiddling with the buttons (or praying) cured the problem.

Anybody got any ideas? Am I gonna have to bite the bullet and send it off to be repaired and if so who's the most reasonable?

First I would double check the battery by trying a new one. Quite a few cameras lock up if the battery voltage is low, so on the basis that a battery is less expensive than a service (!) it could be worth a go.
Best regards, John
