[QUOTE="hark, post: 667180, member: 13196"] Yes, I experienced a problem and can tell you what I noticed with mine. Whether it's the same problem or not, you should be able to tell rather quickly. My shutter would ERR the first time the body was turned on. Usually it was okay for the remainder of the time I used it although there were a couple instances when it was sporadic. What I noticed...and what you should watch for...is to keep your eye on the shutter speed when looking through the viewfinder. Most times I shoot in Aperture Priority with a fixed ISO. That means the shutter speed varies to keep images properly exposed. My shutter speed might register 1/1600". [B]I'd start to press the shutter button when suddenly the shutter speed that displayed inside the viewfinder began flashing 1/4000".[/B] Having it flash that way means the shutter speed is higher than what the body can handle (highest shutter speed on a D750 is 1/4000"). If I pressed the shutter button all the way down, that's when it would ERR. When I began noticing it, I stopped at the halfway point and released my finger. The shutter speed inside the viewfinder corrected itself. So I kept watch of it and managed to avoid the ERR most of the time. Usually it only happened on the first shutter actuation. And usually it didn't happen when in full manual mode, but then one day it did. :( So based on that, I determined my problem is software related rather than a hardware issue with the physical shutter. I spoke with a Nikon rep who said there isn't any way for them to remove the software and reinstall it. Then I began experimenting and found something that has almost resolved the issue...let's just say it only happened once in months and months since doing this one thing. [B]When I am ready to turn off the body, I wait until the top LCD screen has gone into standby before turning off the body.[/B] Simple solution for something that happened with every first shot of the day.
