[QUOTE="PhilM_TX, post: 689932, member: 45839"] Greetings all, I'm a recent convert from Canon to Nikon, so this is probably an old question. One of my new bodies is a D850. I recently noticed that the green light on the back (writing data to card, as I understand it), blinks perpetually when the body is turned off. When I picked it up tonight, I discovered the EN-EL18c was completely dead. All my gear is Nikon - no 3rd party stuff. I have now tried it with all the following conditions, and as long as any battery is installed and the camera is powered "off" the light just flashes endlessly: Different EN-EL18c in battery grip, no EN-EL15 in body with XQD installed & fresh format from this D850. Different EN-EL18c in battery grip, with EN-EL15 in body with XQD installed & fresh format from this D850. Different EN-EL18c in battery grip, no EN-EL15 in body with no memory cards in stalled. Different EN-EL18c in battery grip, with EN-EL15 in body with no memory cards in stalled. Above options both with & w/o lens mounted. Freshly charged EN-EL15 in body, no grip, with and w/o XQD with lens. Freshly charged EN-EL15 in body, no grip, with and w/o XQD with w/o lens. The only way to make it stop is to remove all batteries. Google calls it the "Green Light of Death", but from what I found it was mainly on older bodies. I tried the switch flicking exercise w/o any results, but this body is less than 3 months old with low usage at this point. Any thought, ideas, recommendations? Anyone else had this on a D850? Thanks in advance! Phil [/QUOTE]
