Has to be this one.

Been having a tough time being at a good location for fall color this year. Just a lunchtime photo at a neighborhood park while I was in MIlwaukee. I gave very long consideration to dropping by the Basilica of St. Josephat for trying the weekly challenge, but logistically it was impractical...

Well I'm a day too early for the weekly challenge. Shame to waste the photos of this historic Church of Christ in downtown New Glarus, WI. Yes, same community where Spotted Cow is made.

Nuts, the site was down so I couldn't check if we were live on this. Just took my pic a day early. 😖

Nikon has a rather picky algorithm for communicating with the controller chip on the battery pack for Z series. I have only had that message with the non-OEM cells I had been using without problems on my D750-D7000-D600 bodies. I still use them the in a D600. I suspect there is a flakey...

I don't have personal experience with the Z24-50mm. But in my mind as a stills photographer, my reaction to that lens was that it is basically a useless zoom range. I avoided buying my Z5 as a kit bundle with it and bought a separate body and a used Z24-70mm f/4 instead. Similar money spent...

Mirrorless (all brands) consumes more power. For that matter, using Liveview on a DSLR consumes large amounts of power also. It is why Nikon upgraded the EN-EL15 with more capacity to the C revision. It is recommended to buy a backup.

Asking for forgiveness instead of permission here. I had to try my layer masking.

It's how you want it to look that's important. But if I took it, I work with the color because you lose the neon interest in BW. I believe I would mask out the neon and put that on a separate layer on top so I can have it bright and a bit over-saturated. Then I process the rest of the image...

Instead of a double-click to start the install file, perhaps try right-click and select "run as administrator" from the menu pop-up.

Does the SB-910 have radio-trigger built in? Quick search says no, so the SB-910 should be mounted on the hotshoe of an appropriate Godox receiver to be used this way. SB-910 is Nikon CLS compatible which depends on transmitting power information and triggering by a pre-flash of the strobe...

Just an addendum to @Needa he is referring to the old style Compact Flash (CF) cards. There is a new standard card for current cameras called CFExpress and that is a very different thing. Something to remember while shopping.

Thanks for that. I was having a difficult time imagining that kind of failure. If it was my camera and I was confident nobody else handled it, I might be investigating who dropped something on top of the camera.

Welcome @bryce and good hunting for that D700. I am kind of curious to see a photo of what broke on the D600 mount. I use a D600 (it is modified for infrared photography) and this kind of interests me. I do store for months at a time with a lightweight 28-105mm lens attached. Take cellphone...

Even if there is 0% chance of getting a quick resolution, this needs to be reported to Nikon so they document it and perhaps address this in future firmware. https://www.nikonproductsupport.com/s/contactsupport?language=en_US
