No the mirror is in its proper resting position. The more I look at the
camera, the more it looks like it has been dropped - no external
marks/dents but little things are off - like the alignment between the
speed LEDs and the shutter speed indicator.
Does Camtech have a web site that i can contact them through for service
and repairs? Thanks.

If the mirror in the OM-10 is locked halfway up, that is mirror lock. The
first cause is dead batteries but it could be caused by any of a dozen
things, even failure of the mirror magnet.
