Hi Everyone,
I'm experiencing some funky issues with my D7000. I've never had any problems before and suddenly I seem to be having MANY all at once.
1. When shooting, the camera focus will lock in and then when I push the shutter button, nothing happens. It'll get stuck in this situation until I take the battery out for a few seconds and put it back in, then it fires just fine again. This has been happening for a while. It "COULD" potentially be due to the memory card speed, so I'm working to get a newer faster one, but I've had this memory card for a while, and though I'd had it be slow to respond, I've never had it focus, and then not take the photo before. This was a huge issue at a wedding a couple of weeks ago
2. On Sunday I was shooting outdoors, in very bright mid-day sun. I was shooting with a flash, shutter at 250 and F11 and it was blown out as could be. I NEVER ever shoot that high, I'm almost always on F2-5'ish range, and never do I have blown out images like that.
3. Nikon is also taking occasional blurry shots for no reason. It's a very SLIGHT blur, that I didn't even catch until I pulled them into RAW. These are blurry on a shutter speed above 100, and in broad daylight. I also did a studio shoot, camera ON Tripod, with on camera flash as well as off camera lighting, and had blurry images for a client
Question - Could these issues potentially be caused from something having to do with sand in the camera? The 1st issue has been going on for a while, but the latter I've started noticing after I did a shoot at the Sand Dunes.
I'm not sure if these things are lens related? or in camera related?
