Overtravel Spring
Releasing the Taking Mirror
As previously described, the brief motor reversal rotated the Recock Latch a few degrees counterclockwise.
This action frees the Recock Link to pivot upward from the force of the stretched Recock Link Spring (see
Figure 2-17).
As the Recock Link swings upward, a shoulder surface on its left end pushes against one edge of the Taking
Mirror Carrier, forcing it into its 45-degree exposure position (Figure 2-18).
