Another D750 issue

[astroNikon]

I just came across this thread. I'm glad you got yours taken care of.

I have a D750 and a D500 both from BestBuy (also my previous D7000). When I got my D500 I started testing it with my studio equipment, and lighting gear. The Yongnuo 622N-TX flash controller was not compatible with the D500. The camera would ERR, and shutter would get stuck. It drove me crazy until I realized it was the TX unit. ==> Nikon D500 / Yongnuo 622N-TX incompatibilities

I have to say, that is the most nerve racking camera episode I've ever had.
Having a new $2,000 camera body just stop working just makes you want to pull out your hair and go running and screaming down the block.

At least I've used Nikon's repair facilities a couple times now and they were fairly fast both times - Nikon d600 oil splatter /shutter replacement and D600 lens mount replacement.

Much appreciated... thank you... my first camera was a D5100 that thing is built like a tank.... shot it in really heat waves... below freezing temperatures and always ran like a kitten... So yes I definitely agree with you... When I got the error code on my D750 let's just say I wasn't too happy at the moment... specially after a long ride and almost a 4 mile hike to the spot... lol...

I know electronics fail but 6 months into it and this happened! Let's just say I was glad I had that hike... I'm sure if people heard my voice it was so far away it sounded like an angel whispering bad words

My first camera was a D5100, and my next one was the 750, just like you!!

And I, too, have been disappointed with the 750's errors. Never had an issue with my 5100.

I had my shutter on the D750 stuck the first time and gave me an error feedback. I cleared it by turning the camera off/on and was able to use the camera for a few more months with the problem happened more frequently. Then one day I can no longer clear the message by turning the camera on and off so I took off the lens and noticed the shutter curtains were all entangled.

I sent the camera back to Nikon (using Nikon Professional Service) and was able to get a free brand new shutter replaced. I think it was one of the batches that had the recall.

Check your serial number to see if yours is under recall. I wouldn't mess with anything if it is still under warranty.

Thanks for the input... it's there as we speak... just waiting on any news or perhaps a return date in the meantime... I checked the recall on the website, I entered the serial and it said my camera did not have any recall issued... hopefully I'll get it back in about a week or two... just sucks to have this happen since photography is my way to unwind every weekend

I hope you can get it fixed for free or at least at a reasonable cost.

I know what you mean. Photography and powerlifting have always been great outlets for me lol.

Well, keep us posted once they tell you problems.
