[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 560984, member: 9240"] First off,[B] [I]please don't make this a bitch about Sigma compatibility thread[/I][/B]. There have been problems before with Sigma compatibility and in every case that I've experienced they've released a firmware upgrade and applied it for free (you need to pay to ship the lens to them if it's not USB dock compatible). When I got the D750 I had to send back 4 lenses, but they turned them around in 4 days and everything worked great when I got them back. It's the cost of using 3d party lenses - lenses I happen to like quite a lot. I've spoken with Sigma and I now have a case open with Sigma Japan where they're looking into it. It seems no one else has reported this issue to them, and I have not found anyone on any other forum who has experienced this. I get the issue every time I'm out shooting with it, but I cannot faithfully recreate it at will. Closest I can come to for a set of steps is this: 1. Camera is on but hasn't been shot in at least 5 minutes (ie. timers have all reset). 2. Set image review so that it displays the image with histograms and all image information (1 up from the normal view). 3. Using back button focus (shutter button set to AE-L) fire a burst of at least 5 frames. 4. Immediately review the images shot and use the center button of the multi-selector to do a 100% zoom and then move around within the image. 5. Set the camera down while still in review (don't touch the AF-ON or shutter buttons). At this point the image just stays on. Again, not every time, but it does. I'm trying to suss out if it's some combination of steps or possibly the fact that I'm using some combination of settings on both the camera (the D500 gives you a choice of display order after burst, plus the ability to change the function of the shutter button 1/2 press) and the lens (I use one of the custom settings to specify the harder OS lock). The fact that others can't get it may be because there camera and/or lens is set differently. Thankfully Sigma has been responsive to the issue, or they're at least glad-handing me as I deal with it.
