Eric,
before you send your R7 off for an expensive repair, just check the 
mirror-up socket (just below the lense release button)
maybe something is sticking the mirror return function,, maybe lint, 
dust or fluff in there somewhere.
If you need the manual try David Youngs excellent, and very helpful pages at
