I was using my D7100 and off camera flash last night in the garden without any issue. Today I was travelling to the beach with my dad in his car, I thought I would get out the camera while he was driving and take a few photos. After taking the first photo, I noticed something was wrong. When I pressed the playback button to review my photo, I get the error message: "Playback not currently available". When I press the Live View button, I get the error message: "Cannot start live view at current settings or under current conditions." Some options in the menu are now greyed out such as format memory card, playback folder name, copy images.
During the car journey, I changed lenses, memory cards, replaced the battery with a spare and performed a 2 button reset to no avail. At the beach I tried to troubleshoot the problem, taking a few test shots of the floor but nothing. When I returned home, I plugged in my USB data cable and on my memory card are the photos I took in the car, as well photos of the beach floor. My camera seems to be functioning fine but I can only view them on my PC and not within the camera.
Any ideas? My camera is in warranty. I read a post of a person who is had the exact same problem as me but he said it was because his wireless adapter was plugged in. I don't have a wireless adapter.
EDIT: I just tried putting my D7100 on mirror lockup mode and set to a fast shutter speed, when take the first shot, it is fine, however when shooting shots after, the mirror (or shutter?) closes but does not open automatically (or is this the other way around? anyway...) It only opens when I press the shutter button again.
