[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 577210, member: 16749"] Oddly, it appears that I fixed the problem by installing the latest [url=http://nikonites.com/computers-and-software/37398-new-nikon-distortion-control-update-released.html]Distortion Control Update[/url]. That shouldn't be possible, should it? As far as I know, all that that update affects is the camera's ability to compensate for known distortion characteristics of certain lenses, in postprocessing of pictures after they are taken. It shouldn't have any affect at all on the operation of the camera in the course of taking pictures, right? But the above-described problem was still there just before I installed this update, and now it's gone. A few days have passed, and I have not experienced any sign of this issue since I installed that update, though it was quite consistent before. I have to think that more likely, it's just a coincidence. One of my leading theories as to the cause of the issue was a tiny bit of foreign material, perhaps a filing from when I engraved an infinity mark on the lens, having got somewhere that it shouldn't be, and perhaps it has been dislodged to where it's no longer causing this issue, and just by coincidence, it happened about the same time I did this update.
