p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · D7100 mirror problem


The mirror on my D7100 is malfunctioning. It opens fully, then stops about half way. I have to press the shutter release button again to get it to close. Live view doesn't work and I get the err message. Any suggestions?

Are you sure you're not set up for 'mirror up'?

I got the same symptoms with it in “mirror up” but no err message. See page 333 of Manual. May be time to call NIKON.

I am in "single" mode and the mirror just snags half-way between up and down. I got it to take 3 exposures this morning before it acted up again. This is really disappointing considering the camera has had only 500 shots taken with it.

Bummer! If you haven't had it that long you may try contacting the Dealer.

> It opens fully, then stops about half way.

You mean, I guess, that it stops halfway on the return?

I suppose it's worth trying a full reset of the camera. However I wouldn't discourage you from writing up the shipping label first.

Yes, I did a full reset and still the same scenario.

FWIW.
There is a You Tube video

with this same issue. About 7 people responded to the video with the same problem. Unfortunately no solution, but at least you're not the only one. They seem to have experienced it at around 500-600 clicks.

I would contact Nikon. There may be a simple solution https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/238/~/nikon-support-contact-information

Thank you for your input on this everyone. I am sending the D7100 in tomorrow. Any thoughts of which provides better service, Nikon East Coast or Nikon West Coast?

Are you using a 3rd party battery grip?? If you are, take it off and see if it stops...my d7000 did that when the battery was low...

Nathan, I have never used a battery grip on this body and the battery is fully charged.
