I had three studio shoots on my new D800 before I had a problem. on the 4th shoot, i was synched with a pocket wizard as I always am to my alienbee and this means shutter speed can't be over 160 or you get a lovely *ok not so lovely* black stripe at the bottom of all your images. So, I'm in manual as I am for everything I shoot, and I set my shutter at 160 and fstop 2.8 (same as i shot before and on my D700 with a newborn shoot) and I take a picture and the shutter speed would adjust on it's own anywhere from 60 to 320 but would not hold where I set it at 160. I could dial it back to 160 while focusing but why is it not holding? Has anyone else had this problem? I will not be able to use this camera with, say, a two year old that is on the move because i need to be able to set that shutter and go. I sent Nikon a message about this and haven't yet heard back from them. Any advice is much appreciated.
