Once the shutter is restored, how long does it last before you have to restore it again?

I had kept my camera past the return period. I did contact Nikon, and sent it in via their instructions. I got it back in great shape with no focusing issues! Look for my review under this item.

You know, it tracks fine. once you make sure that its setup. I actually use it for long exposure photography, and I use longer open shutters than I could otherwise. to get a 1 minute exposure, I'll shoot 3 20 second exposures for example and then stack them afterwards, rather than stacking 20 3 second exposures. I break up the shots to eliminate any tracking errors.

Yes, there is a way to handle this. Just depress your shutter button half way after you take your picture and it will not wait the 5 seconds between shots, it will be ready to go right away. Once you depress the shutter button half way and release the preview will disappear and you will be ready to shoot again.

I haven't really gauged how long the battery lasts; much depends on flash usage, video vs. stills, etc. But, the battery in my new camera out lasts its predecessor, and I don't even give battery life a second thought. If you're worried, get a second, back-up battery.

I believe it's one year. I actually had a problem with the shutter and even though I purchased it used on Amazon they still honored the warranty.

If the shutter has been painted, is not peeling, and the paint has simply faded, then the answer is yes. A good test is to thoroughly wet the shutter, and if you see the color coming back, then yes, Shutter Saver will work.

The latter; You press the button once to open the shutter. Then it stays open until you press the button once more.

Agree with Frank ... some lithium ion batteries have a life span of as little as 3 years. Yours is likely closer to 10 years old. Before you replace the battery, though, plug the camera in to power and see if it will turn on. If not, it may just be time for a new camera.

depends on how much you talk initially it lasted for 30 hours.. 16 months later with heavy use it lasts 8 hours top.... and 2 weeks ago my back side camera fails on focusing objects and it makes a weird sound so I can not use the camera....!!! I think ill have to switch now...

If you have 'long exposure noise reduction' turned on, the camera will take another 30 seconds before you can shoot again. Long exposure NR involves the camera taking another image for the same amount of time with the shutter closed and then subtracts this from the real image to process out noise/graininess. If you have long exposre NR turned off, you can take another shot pretty much immediately though repeating this for any length of time could cause the sensor to heat up and generate additional noise.

There is a long wait period between fully depressing the shutter button (this is after focusing with a half press) and capture.By the time the picture is taken the moment is well over.I have a Canon G3 - it does not have a similar issue, however Canon's support is unwilling to acknowledge that there is a problem.Locking the exposure prior to the shot fixes the problem, but then you have to do this for each shot and it means another flash.

Put the camera in rapid fire, manual focus, out the trigger in bulb... hit it once and the shutter will stay engaged. That might work.

Same here, I got my D50 nearly 3 years ago and also have been plagued by the sticky shutter problem starting after 1.5 years. I have been taking lots of photos (29500 shutter releases so far) and used the extended warranty. I'm also disappointed by this shutter and considering returning the camera again for repair.I envy the time where people would keep their film camera for 20+ years... (maybe they did not take that many photos :)

Yes, simply hold down the button on the controller for about 1-2 seconds and let go, but with mine I've notice that it doesn't stay locked for long especially with long exposer time lapse photos, for example: 30 second exposer over a period of an hour, it only took about 3-4 photos every time, I eventually had to babysit the shutter release and my camera to make sure it was actually taking the photos... It could be just mine that's defective... Still works great though!

According to my understanding the delay time is the time that it takes for the camera to recover after it has taken a shot.

The shutter speed automatically varies with the available light and lens aperture. The manual says that the shutter has a range from 2 sec to 1/1600 sec.
