It checks out, the viewfinder functions normally, and the image disappears momentarily when the shutter is clicked.
So where does that leave me? Everything seems perfectly normal but only darkness is saved to the card. There is a file created each time I click, but I'm just racking up black images.

If you can see an image through the viewfinder then the mirror is in the correct 'start' position.
If still looking through the viewfinder the image is lost momentarily as you operate the shutter button then the mirror is going up and down again.
All good.
Are you getting an image on the SD card? Are you on timer? Are you set to long exposure?
