Re: Nikon D80 - problems already? :( help re. shutter not firing.

no, they don't have any more of the cameras, so won't do an exchange, and I hadn't thought about refund, but I'd rather have a camera as my dad said... A camera will get me through times of no money, far better than money will get me through times of no camera! ;D

I took it in to the shop when i bought the Bigma - they cleaned it - but it hasn't worked :*( bleh. I guess I just have to bite the bullet and be camera-less.

ffs.

Re: Nikon D80 - problems already? :( help re. shutter not firing.

thanks for that JR that was very helpful. I don't think it is to do with the flash though, as it sometimes happens first shot (like someone lower on the page said). Also, the lens still does this f-- thing occasionally!

Re: Nikon D80 - problems already? :( help re. shutter not firing.

there are two service warranty slips with the camera - one for the camera and one for the lens - does this mean i can insist to the shop on only sending the lens back? The person in the shop insisted that i would have to send it all back. :/ mind you.... the shutter not firing, doesn't sound like a lens issue :/

Re: Nikon D80 - problems already? :( help re. shutter not firing.

Personally I would go for a refund and get a new one - much better than waiting for yours to be repaired, not to mention it being sent back an fourth

Re: Nikon D80 - problems already? :( help re. shutter not firing.

There's nowhere else I could get a new one from... and also, camera shop don't believe me I don't think because it only does it occasionally - and of course, never when they're using it! meh!!!

Re: Nikon D80 - problems already? :( help re. shutter not firing.

had a little think about this problem (wow) . My first thought is to remove the lens and put the camera lens cover back on then try taking several photos in succession ,may seem daft I know taking blank pictures, however if the fault doesn't occur the basic camera is ok. i would then look towards the contact as below.

Now What I suspect as already mentioned of the contact lens/camera area. when the lens is on the camera in the locked position is there much movement if gently twisting the lens? if this is excessive then the problem would be in bad manufacturing either on the lens or camera. The only way to tell is to try the same thing again with another Nikon lens and see how much movement there is with the other lens. If the substitute lens has less movement then your original lens is faulty, if the same then the camera contact is at fault.

Its a case of elimination really, if you can narrow down the fault its easier to show the problem to the repairers.

Re: Nikon D80 - problems already? :( help re. shutter not firing.

sort of - the shitter not firing I reckon is the flash thing after all - as it doesn't do it otherwise. The f-- thing seems to still happen on occasion - though I'm not too worried as it's not as bad as it was.
