Uh oh, my D850 is making an ominous sound during burst shooting. One actuation out of the burst sounds different than the rest. Sounds a little crunchy, for lack of a better description. Its always near the end of the burst, say, number 5 out of 7 or 8 of 10. It happened a month or so ago too, sound became more distinct until the camera seized, and I got the ERR message. No buttons would work, not even the on off switch. Only removing and reinserting the battery cleared it out, and the odd shutter sound was gone. Now the sound seems to be slowing returning. Sounds to me like a trip to Nikon may be in order. Anybody experienced this?
I recall there is one company that makes nearly all the shutters for all major Camera Brands.
It was at a time where the camera industry was averaging 6% failure rates across all devices and in all areas, up from 3%.
The particular shutter manufacture also has a history of issues, and to my knowledge since the D300 D700 to still today.
My Df uses the same shutter as the D600, as we know that camera had major issues.
My DF had similar issues to the D600 shutter issues despite denials offered.
IMPORTANT....My Shutter sounded louder and louder then clunkier then quite then clunky then quiet, then failed.
One blade came off and damaged the sensor as well.
Nikon Australia have always offered 5 star service and support, Hence I stay with them. They took very special care of the issue for me despite the warranty being out.
One of my D850 units is sounding louder and louder and clunkier, then quiet for while them louder again, so in the new year its going in to Nikon...........I am saying like Steve said, time to send it in, don't trust it, the camera has warned you with a cough.
As to damaged sensors from shutter failure, there is a USA company that replaces the damaged removable filter on the sensor for about 1/4 of the cost of a complete sensor from Nikon, that filter is usually what gets damaged not the actual sensor peice.
NOTE I hear club members and friends having the same issues with Canon over the years no different to Nikon etc.
Your camera has warned you, time for the Nikon Hospital for a check up.
Merry Christmase to you and laa saty safe.
