[QUOTE="06Honda, post: 690555, member: 12845"] My equipment: Nikon D7200 AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR 1 x SanDisk Extreme SD XC 1 60MB/s 64 GB in slot one 1 x SanDisk Ultra Plus sd hc 1 80MB/s 32 GB in slot two used only as overflow The last two evenings I have been out shooting Snowy Owl’s, temps between -12 C to -16 C not including the windchill for about 3 hours or so. After about an hour and a half I suddenly got a Flashing F message on my top screen. Camera locked up and would not do anything. I tuned off the camera a couple of times and tired to focus and it just stopped and worked fine the for the rest now the shoot on both nights. I have been shooting Nikon bodies and lenses since 2006 and this is the first time this has happened to me, lucky I guess. Several photographers that I was with all shoot with Canon except one who has the same body and sense as me. The Canon shooters said “oh thats a Nikon thing” LOL. Suggestions they gave: (1) Replace my cards (they are a few years old) (2) Clean the lense contacts with a lint free cloth and some rubbing alcohol (3) Its just the cold? Any suggestions on the possible cause of this error message, or trouble shooting tips to resolve it. Thanks for taking the time to read this slightly long post. Paul ** Oddly another shooter with a Canon body and a 150-500 Sigma had there gear lock up similar to my shortly after. I am thinking that the cold temps may not be the cause as this would have happened to just about all of them as we were shooting in the same conditions and length of time. [/QUOTE]
