u got the link for the vid? wanna see about it.

oh noo...bad sign bad sign.

tested my new d7000 just now. tried some fast shutter shots. looks like it's jamming.

anything above 1/800, when i press the button, i hear the clark then the top lcd blinks Err and i get a black image. i press shutter button again, i hear clark and then it's ready for another shot. press again, same thing, hear sound, Err and black image.

what could be the problem. shutter unit problem or wad?

no it's definitely a problem. i tried it outside. iso 6400.

on the times it manage to release successfully, i get an underexposed image, which is normal.

the times it shows ERR, i get a black image.

yeah test it out. try continuous high, then low and also single. doesnt happen everytime.try above 1/800 all the way to 1/8000. see if it shows Err

definitely not memory card. Err shows in the top lcd. i take out the lens n put to M mode also like that. get Err at random times but very frequently.

yeah....happens randomly during burst 6fps and also during single shots. happens at lower shutter speed too. weird thing is, the first few days i was using it with no problem. then kept it in the bag for 2 days, then today saw someone posted this http://nikonrumors.com/forum/topic.php?id=...es=5#post-51600

went to test my cam and prob happens.

1) which centre should i go...PKNS or berjaya times square?

2)of course i would like good service for my cam, fast and efficient.

3)how's the procedure like. how long would i need to leave my cam there?

Added on December 28, 2010, 5:55 pmdark could be because the shutter doesnt open. by dark i mean it is actually totally black. nothing at all. not the usual underexposed dark u get when your shutter speed is too fast for ambient light.

yeah well, maybe your unit is ok.

mine when i burst, i just hold the button, sometimes it'll stop after a few and show Err. sometimes it'll stop at the first or 2nd shot.

and when i check the playback....all the shots that i heard click properly, the image shows but the last image just before it stop and show Err is black. totally black.

thanks. so i need to bring my warranty card right? do i need the receipt?

will the camera be affected in other areas after sending to them? i was worried like after they open up everything and put it back together, maybe the glue for the rubbers or the screws might not be as good as new. is that possible?

try higher. try 1/8000. at first i tried it had once or twice stuck. then i remount the lens, still once or twice. then i mange to really burst kaw kaw at 6fps with no problem for a while....then after that, now it's frequently like that. even for single shot or continuous low at 3fps.

see this - http://nikonrumors.com/forum/topic.php?id=3044

try pointing at something bright and see whether it open and closes in time.

okokok lemme explain.

it happens frequently and randomly. whether it's burst at 6fps, burst at 3fps or single shot. it gives me the Err intermittently at various shutter speeds once the err comes out, i off it, take out the lens, i can see that the mirror is flipped up and the shutter is covering the sensor. i then have to on back, press the shutter again then only the mirror will drop. but before i take out the lens, i can see the image review that it's all black.

mine doesnt have the black line at the top or bottom like the link i posted. but u read what the TS said, he also had intermittent Err probs with the mirror/shutter jamming.

Added on December 28, 2010, 7:06 pmthe funny thing is, i used the cam quite a lot, more than 1k shots as it went to the 2nd folder on my memory card since i got it. nothing happened, went to klcc, icity, church event and all no prob.

until just now, decided to test fast shutter speed. after 2 shots, gave me Err. and then now it keeps on happening quite frequently. i would say once every 3 shots on average.

doing a stress test now to find out problems earlier might be better than dying when u need it or when your warranty is out


i'm using nikon 18-200mm VR1. happens when autofocus is enabled and almost in manual focus. happens in all modes, AF-C, AF-S, AF-A.

heck....even when there's no lens mounted and no memory card, it still gives the Err.

yeap..i know. saw his thread yesterday.

nope not yet. gotta send my unit back for warranty and see how first.

well, scroll up and back one or 2 pages. then try testing with your unit also.

maybe that's coz it's just wayyy too underexposed.


underexposed or decent exposure is not the problem here. at iso6400, i can still see a very dim image on the times it work. on the ones that show Err. the image is black. black as in "lens cap on" black.

LOL...i can understand why you're saying that. though this is my first dslr for a week, I've been using dslrs for a long time.

my problem now is, sometimes the mirror/shutter does not complete the whole cycle. let's not talk about underexposed or not. what i'm getting is black. total black like as if u had the lens cap on.

this Err problem happens intermittently but quite frequently. on the times it snaps correctly, I get an underexposed image or a normal image. on the times it fails (Err), i get a "lens cap on" black image.

now it doesnt just happen at 1/8000, it randomly happens at lower shutter speeds like 1/60, 1/40. ISO is at auto, so on the times it work, i get a normal image, on times it fail, i get black image but exif still shows the actual shutter speed i set.

when top LCD shows Err. i switch it off, took out the lens, saw the mirror was up and the shutter was covering the sensor. put it back, switched it on, press the shutter button again, and i can hear the mirror flip down. now I can continue snapping.

sorry if this is real long but i cant really think of a better way to explain this as I dont have a video of it.

yeap...looks like I'm set for it. does this looks like a mechanical prob with the mirror/shutter, electronic problems or could it be something else?

definitely not one of those setting. on the d7000, there's a separate dial to choose single, continuous low, continuous high, quiet, remote, mirror lockup.
tried the single, CL and CH. all same prob. at continuous, it'll go cluck cluck cluck cluck then suddenly halfway cluck then gives me Err.

without the lens, in M mode. i can see the mirror move up down, up down, up down and all of a sudden stays up and everything stops and it gives Err. i then have to release and press shutter button once again, then the mirror will drop down.

then i can press again to continue taking other shots.

nope. definitely not mirror lockup. see my other replies.

tried without lens, without memory card. still same.

it's only a week old. took more than 1k shots since i got it. but it was indoor event so no fast shutter. ytd, tried 1/8000 and then started like that already. now lower, medium shutter speed also like that.

for now, I'll guess its an internal problem. SC it is!

when it's so close, it'll go out of focus as you breath in n out.
