shutter problems? Is this a defect of the D50 or do I just have a lemon?

Went on a trip with my new D50 and it stopped working after 5-6 pictures. Showed an error message. When I got back home I decided to read the book. Seems the lens slipped out of F22 to F16. Rotating the F-ring back to F22 fixed the problem. Ignorant me. Since then I try to only purchase lenses with a little snaplock on the f-ring. Problem solved.

I think the 'shutter problem' can be traced to the lens or the settings, or a low light condition. Start adjusting the settings before you send it in for a new one. Also you need to change or recharge the battery occasionally.

I have the same 'over exposure' issue with my D90....didn't have that issue with my older D50. Not sure if Nikon has made some adjustments in the newer models. If shooting in bright sun light I have to remember to set the compensation to -7. On a recent trip to Red Rock Canyon, near Las Vegas I forgot to set and had quite a few shots that were completely over blown.

I believe it is a faulty lens. My brother has a t3i and has had no such issue. You should try the lense on another camera before returning though.

Not sure what is the problem you are having. I didn't have any problem with mine. It's great camera.

I have a D50 and it works just fine, I was concerned about the quality before I purchased it, but it takes wonderful, crisp, clear pictures.

My setup is the same. However, I am using a D5100, a DX body and an FX lens. I believe this is causing the problem. Are you using an FX body?

could be that your lens is bad. I had a problem with the 40-150 and sent it back to get fixed. If the camera still under warranty , send it in to get checked out.

Yeah, it doesn't affect the pictures at all you're right. Sometimes it's annoying when I'm trying to use my 50mm prime, as I have to manually focus that and the blurry line doesn't help.I called Nikon also and they said I could ship it to them and they would look at it. I'm slightly worried to do that because I'm afraid they'll do something to screw it up worse. I guess I can live with it. If you send yours in, could you let me know if they actually fix it by replying here?

Hi All, very interested in these postings but still can't get this lens to work with my D70 in M or AF. I too get fEE message displayed and shutter won'r fire, even after locking off at f22 etc. Starting to wonder if its a camera setting or am I missing something?

check out dpreview.com in the Nikon forum. Seems like all cameras thru #3114394 have the defect. I think this represents ~2.5 months' worth of sales, *plus* whatever is in the inventory pipeline.

My D40 developed a blurry line in the middle of the viewfinder after about 2 months (or maybe it just took me 2 months to notice it). It doesn't affect the photos, just the viewfinder, but it is a little annoying at times. I'm guessing it's a warp or something like that in the focusing screen. Since I take most of my photos in the Summer and Fall, I don't want to part with it for another couple of months, but after that I plan on sending it in to Nikon to have them check it out while it's still under warranty. It really hasn't been a big deal, and the camera is great in spite of it, but I would like to make sure it's not going to get worse.

I'm no digital geek, but try a different memory card, or maybe a different kind of card reader. I had the same thing happen to me with a Nikon D300, and once I switched the card, it was all right. Worth a try, anyway. BruceS

I haven't written a review, and haven't even read the other reviews (yet), but I am *definitely* having the soft focus and out of focus problems you are referring to. I can take 10 consecutive pictures - same lighting/angle, etc. and maybe one will be a good picture, 4 not so good, and 5 completely unusable. I wonder if certain models cause this, or if some of these were just defective. I bought because of all the positive reviews, but wish I would've spoke up when I first received my camera.

We have not experienced this problem with our camera. You might check the settings to ensure they are on automatic (versus manual) settings. If the problem persists, you might try a monopod or tripod, although these tend to limit the utility of a compact camera. One last thought - are you shooting in low light?

I truly don't know, that's a shame. Have you tried tricking it by turning it on WITH the lens cover still on, like it's saying, and then removing it to see if the message goes away? Then see if it functions normally after that. Other than that, I have no ideas or suggestions, sorry. I haven't had this problem. I'm sure a local camera shop could help you troubleshoot, possibly even for free if it doesn't require a repair. :)

Allan, I have never heard of a problem like that, I have used a number of these cameras, and have never had that problem. I would send it back. Do you have a 3d photo club where you live? Here in Utah there is an amazing group and I know in most states there is also, there are a number of people who have worked in the 3d industry for many years that may also be able to help you more if you contact one of these groups. They are online. Good luck Sandra
