There is a design flaw on the MX whereby a quick flick of the shutter release will cause the mirror to pre-fire. The mirror will return to normal operation after the shutter cycle. And the mirror can be reset without depressing the shutter release (however you do have to remove the lens to flick a coupling lever).
