[QUOTE="D'Grump, post: 765046, member: 49504"] It seems like the "Err" message on Nikon cameras is just one bin for multiple problems. It kinda says "Hey there is some problem but I don't exactly know what it is. Maybe you can find out." So, you've got to start eliminating some things, and by the looks of it, you have. The D7100 has 2 card slots, and one of the things that "Err" points to is a memory problem. I would suggest that you remove both cards and put in one new card (or different good one) in slot 1 and see if you can recreate the problem. if yes, it's probably something else besides the memory cards. If no, remove the new card and put one of the old cards into slot 1 and try to recreate. If yes, probably that card is the problem (but put the second old one into slot 1 and try again to verify the second card is good or bad). If no, then repeat with the second card in slot 1. If yes, that card is suspect as well. If no, that card is probably OK. I wouldn't expect to find both cards with a problem, but who knows. If you find that after all of this the "Err" problem doesn't come back, then it's likely that there was dirt or oxidation on the memory card contacts either on the memory card itself or in the slots in the camera. If it was me, and the problem didn't come back after this exercise, I would probably get rid of both cards just as a proactive measure anyway. Good luck finding out what's wrong. Andy [/QUOTE]
