[QUOTE="Tijs, post: 574499, member: 42516"] Hi all, Very sad to post again here with wat seems like another broken d3300. Now i'm on holiday and was shooting pictures of the forest. All of a sudden the view finder is very dimm and there seems to be some sort of grid before it. I saw it happening, right after i exposed a picture the grid was their and the viewfinder dimmed. The camera's light meter doesn't seem to function correctly now, and it over exposes every picture. I read that a dimmed view finder mostly has to do with a drained battery, but i have two fully charged batteries that won't make a difference. When changing to 'live view' mode, the screen looks ok, but light meter reports the subject is to dark. As i'm new to dslr i mostly shoot in A mode, and i can see that the camera wants a very long shutter time (like 1 or more seconds), even at f2.8 It also does not seem to be my lens (tamron 17-50 vc). I have only this one lens with me, but when i remove the lens and look through the viewfinder i can still see the grid vaguely, allthough the view is much brighter. The grid looks not like a grid of straight lines but rather curved lines or cirkels, very weird. I've never looked through my view finder without batteries, so i don't know it this is the same. But as i said, my two batteries are good. Tried resetting the shooting menu and the setup menu, no change. When camera is off, but lenscap removed, i see can also see the 'grid'. Hopefully this is sometging stupid wich could easily be fixed, since i'm in argentina on a holiday. :) Or it's me, because this camera is a two weeks old replacement of another d3300 that had a shuttercurtain malfunction within a week... Not much luck with this d3300 so far... Hope someone has a good tip! Tijs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
