Hi all,
I'm new here, and also to DSLR photography. That's why I bought a D3300 last week, to see if it's for me. I was happy shooting all kinds of pictures, while today all my pictures are black and the display reads 'error press shutter release again'. But each time, the 'photo' is completely black. I can hear the mirror flip up and down. So that must be working. However, when I turn on 'Live View', the screen stays blank as well. I can't make it go back. Only way is to take out the battery and put it in again. The camera then starts in 'normal' (not in live view) mode. But the error persists. Seems like a shutter curtain issue to me, but like I said, I'm still learning about (D)SLR's, so I could be completely off.
Seeing as the body is only 6 days in my possession I went right back to the dealer. They tested it with a different lens (no help), reset to factory defaults and then took it 'out back'. After they returned they said nothing could be done and they would have to send it for repair which could take weeks! But I bought the thing for my travels through Argentina and we will leave next week. But anyway, nothing can be done about that .
I was wondering if someone knows if this is a known issue and if I should demand my money back and pruchase another model (or make). I found one other review (it's in Dutch) which seems exactly my problem. Also, he got his camera fixed (which took more than a month), but it failed again a couple of months later with the same issue. He than claims to have gotten his money back.
I'm just wondering if I made the right choice investing in a D3300. I bought it with a tamron f2.8 17-50 so I'm stuck at nikon for now.
Any one else have any issues with D3300's?
