Help - D7500 mirror 'flutter'
I'm a newbie and wish to ask for help from more experienced users. I bought a D7500 just over a year ago and started to learn how to use all those controls
During the various lockdowns the camera got little use. Now it looks as though we may be able to get out and about I have started to familiarize myself with the camera again. However, something strange has started to happen and I hope it is my doing through ignorance and would welcome advice or comments. When starting to press the shutter release I get the usual beep sound as focus is established but now often there is a sort of 'fluttering' movement coming from the mirror as though it is deciding whether to lock up to see straight through the lens. The photo is still taken ok but I wonder if I have done something to start this situation or if it means there is something wrong with the camera. Luckily, I have a two year warranty and so I can take it to the dealer if necessary. Any help will be appreciated.
