[QUOTE="lokatz, post: 635007, member: 43924"] Sorry, doesn't make sense to me. Whiskeyman had 5%, I had 1%. Ok, those are approximations anyway, so let's assume I had 1% and he had 2%. The 7100 is spec'd at 950 shots per battery load. Even if we discard that number somewhat and say you only get 500-600, as some users do, that still means he should have had 10+ average shots left when he experienced the issue. And we're just looking at the focusing system here, not everything else, while shutter, image storage, and (most relevant) image display together eat up much more juice than the AF system does. Just doesn't add up. Not sure where exactly to point, but my guess would be internal moisture, either in the lens or the camera. The D7100 is not particularly well-sealed. Anyway, glad the issue fixed itself. Personally, I would not lose sleep over it unless it becomes repetitive. [This is professional advice. I'm an MSEE. ;)] [/QUOTE]
