[QUOTE="PL8638, post: 158215, member: 14589"] Hello gentlemen, and I hugely appreciate the replies. Dave your theory about the battery is interesting. Yes it was hit up pretty good today when the problem was manifesting. Showing 1/3rd drained, but I guess it can be more as I understand it only gauges in 1/3rd increments. As to the past, I can`t say that I remember. It is true though that the problem has never manifested outside of live view... Don I filled in some of my profile. I want to create a signature with a list of my gear. Didn`t readily see how to do so, but will get to it later. I have a D5100, 18-55 VR kit lens, 55-200 VR, and a 40 2.8 Micro. As to shooting in live view, some of it is just force of habit as I often shot from the LCD with my Canon P & S. Plus I have a long history with camcorders. Though as I`ve been getting to know this DSLR, I`m having less urge to shoot from the LCD, mainly due to the slower focusing. I did though read somewhere that auto focus is more accurate in live view... Really comes down to being annoyed by having what may be a broken camera.
