Hi Dave,
The shutter can be cocked by opening the back, turning the frame
counter over the 0 (there is a dial for this on the advance
lever) and then, keeping the counter in position, closing the
back. This allows the shutter to work without film. You can
lock the mirror up only when the shutter is cocked, of course.
Forgetting the mirror up can drain the battery, though.
There is another way to do that, but a special key is needed.
