Recently I have seen a recurring pattern with my camera which maybe someone could advise on.
Camera: Nikon D750,
Issue: Shutter locks open and an "ERR" code/symbol appears on the top screen, i,e the one above the command dials, and the shutter will not open again unless I depress the shutter/photo button.
Detail/Observations: The pattern thats happening occurs when I attempt to take the first image after the camera has been switched off for at least 3 hours. The routine is, I turn on the camera in any mode, dial in whatever f stop/shutter speed I want, press the shutter the shutter locks open as if in a long exposure but does not close again and the words ERR appear in the command window on top. Switching the camera off does not reset the shutter and the ERR wording still appears on restart the only method to rectify the situation is for me to press the shutter button again. An image is recorded to the card and after this the camera acts as normal.
What Settings Do I use: Well for the past two days I have been operating at a high shutter speed, 4000 /sec f 5 - 8 with a high ISO but from the testing Ive done the f stop makes no difference nor the ISO. I do suspect the shutter mechanism/speed may be an issue but I haven't tested at below 2000/sec yet as I have to wait between tests
Might it be the memory card: I have been having issues with one particular card but as I have said the camera works 9 out of 10 times.
Is it the lenses: No
Why do you have to wait at least 3 hours: no idea but thats what happens.
Why do you suspect the shutter mechanism: My particular model d750 has been recalled by Nikon worldwide due to an issue surrounding the HSS/high speed shutter mechanism not working correctly but the problem they describe is not the one I been having. It is widely reported that Nikon will change out the shutter mechanism when the unit is presented. I was holding off sending it off till after this past weekend.
Could it be something else/ do I really have the first clue: yes and no, thats why I would like opinions before I go crying to the manufacturer.
