OK, so I don't do a lot of flash photography, but I needed to do some headshots for a friend as well as a project, so I was testing a light set-up using my D610 because it was handy. The D610 is supposed to be able to sync at 1/200s, but at 1/160 and even as slow as 1/100 I was getting what appeared to be a shutter leaf lagging in the bottom left corner of the shot:

My plan is to contact Nikon, send them the photo and have them take a look at it, but I wanted to check in with folks who do a lot more flash work than I do and ask if there's any other reason I'd get this? I had 2 flashes triggered right and left, both fired. This seemed to happen about once every 15 or 20 shots. Flashes, two Yongnuo 468ii's, were set to manual at 1/8 power against umbrellas using Vello triggers. It's either a dragging shutter or a late fire, but either way I see it as a camera issue. Please tell me if I'm wrong - Nikon support is hard enough to deal with that I don't want to send them a camera for a repair that they then clean and charge me for because nothing was wrong.
