My D500 is being returned, i am having auto focus problems, i got it monday night, tuesday i fired a few test shots and everything seemed ok, 1st shot came back as 1 on the shuttercount website, so brand new.
Took it to work on wed, it frooze 3 times and an F0 appeared on the top screen, turned it off and on, nothing, turned it off and detached and re-attached the lens and i was back shooting (the 70-300mm worked ok on the D7000?).
Thursday the same thing happened only once, Friday i got the sigma back and never had the problem, good.
At the shoot yesterday it came back again 3 times and this time i saw the picture i just took jump in the view finder.
Today it frooze again and i saw F1 in the top screen along with a whirling sound as if it was spinning its wheels trying to focus, so i turned everything off.
I got on to Amazon and they have a new one on the way (Tuesday) i have the camera all boxed and ready to leave into a UPS store for free shipping back to them.
I also did a factory reset with no avail, short of doing a firmware upgrade i think i had no other option, hope i dont have them same issues with the replacement??? I did a google search and this was reported albeit only a few had experienced this issue.
Roll on Tuesday, D500 mark II.
