[QUOTE="PhilM_TX, post: 689973, member: 45839"] Thanks for the feedback. The body shipped with the latest (1.03) firmware. I have a status update on my situation. I left the body w/o any batteries overnight. When I put a battery in this AM, it immediately began flashing again. I pulled the battery & brought it to work with me so I could call Nikon on it. When I put the battery back in, in preparation to calling Nikon - IT NO LONGER FLASHED! Just like taking a car to the dealership. :-/ I went ahead and called Nikon and worked with a gal for about 30 minutes. She had me go back and disable Airplane mode and check Network & BT settings. Both had never been enabled, configured, or connected. She said that even with Airplane mode enabled, the camera "could" try to find a BT device. Not sure I buy that, but I followed recommendations as directed. In the end, I re-enabled Airplane mode. All is working normally, but I do not understand why. I'll have to keep an eye on it and see if it occurs again. Nikon did log the incident against my s/n, so I can easily follow up if necessary. I have to say, the phone experience with the Nikon tech was "top notch", simple, and quick. Thumbs up on that one! [/QUOTE]
