We went to the beach and I was taking pictures with my fairly new (less than 3 months) D7100 . I was using a brand new remote remote control to take pictures while it was on the tripod. There was no mess or sand blowing around or anything that I knew of. Unless some got in the shutter button when I went into the little kiddy dent to switch lenses. Anyway the remote was not working and I started wondering if I bought a remote with a bad battery. I was pressing it over & over trying to get it to work. When it stopped working completely I asked my son to press the shutter. He said it wasn't working so I went to the camera to double check if the remote setting was still turned on.
I noticed the shutter button was pressed down and wouldn't go back up. I turned the camera off and back on. Each time I turned the camera off&on it would take a picture and would have a r with the number 3 that would change to a 2, then switch back to 3 again.
I'm glad we got some good pictures before the camera stopped working. I got a self family portrait on the beach, and some good shots of the beach&sky,and one cool shot of my 22 month old that was by accident. It was funny when we were all smiling for the camera and it fired off a few shots with no one beside it, while on a tripod . This one guy walked past with a puzzled look on his face. It was neat and very helpful using the remote to get myself in pictures with my family, but think it may have screwed up my camera. Or it was just coincidence.
