Hi,
Took my two month old D3100 out for it's first real shoot last week, and I've discovered two issues with it.
The first is that it sometimes will not auto focus, a white background seems to cause this problem most often?
The second issue is more serious; upon downloading my images, I discovered that they were all tilted to the right? Thinking that perhaps it was my grip, or that I was moving the camera when I depressed the shutter at the low shutter speeds, I set up a test when I got home. I placed the camera on my tripod, and then carefully aligned the images in the viewfinder using the dots and viewfinder boarder. I used the release timer to insure that there was no camera movement, and sure enough, as you can see all images are tilted to the right?
I'll send it in for repair, but I was wondering if anyone else has heard of these issues with the D3100?
Thanks,
Paul
