Nikon Recalls Even More D750 Cameras for Shutter Shading Problem

March 2, 2016 By Eric Reagan

D750_front.low

Last summer, Nikon issued a service advisory for the D750 as a result of a shutter malfunction that it said only some units manufactured between October and November 2014. Now, Nikon is updating that service advisory for cameras manufactured through June 2015, which was just before it issued the original service advisory.

In the updated service advisory, Nikon apologizes for the problem and provides instructions and a tool to check your serial number to see if it is an affected camera. If so, you can send your D750 into Nikon for free inspection and repair to correct the issue even if the warranty has expired.

Nikon has been raked over the coals for problems with its professional DSLRs that end up requiring repair or replacement. Obviously, this does not help Nikon’s image and the company really needs to come out of the gate strong with the new D500 and D5 with no weird malfunctions.

Watch the Canon 7D Shutter at 10,000fps

This video from the Slow Mo Guys shows us a great look at the shutter movement inside the Canon 7D at a range of shutter speeds, all the way up to 1/8000s.

It is a view we don’t ever really get to see even if we do understand the process of how a focal plane shutter works. Thanks to a Phantom camera that shoots HD video at 10,000fps, we get to see up close and in detail the mirror and shutter operation.

As you are watching, note the vibration of mirror on its impact and consider how that will affect image quality as much slower shutter speeds.

What If You Sent Your Nikon D600 in for Cleaning and Got a Nikon D610 Back in the Mail for Free?

January 28, 2014 By Eric Reagan

Nikon D610

Nikon has yet to admit any defect with the D600 despite a plethora of reports concerning a defective shutter mechanism. Even when the D610 was announced (way too early as a proper replacement for the D600), Nikon made no mention of the shutter defect. However, Nikon highlighted a new, improved shutter as a feature of the D610.

Now, it appears that some Nikon D600 owners who send their cameras in for cleaning are getting brand new Nikon D610 cameras back with little or no cost to the user. (Update: Nikon later confirmed that all service inquiries are handled on a case-by-case basis, but provided no direct response to the D610 and D600 shutter mechanism debacle. See official statement below.) [Read more…]

CustomSLR ProDot Shutter Button Upgrade is Now Available

December 21, 2012 By Eric Reagan

CustomSLR announced the ProDot shutter button upgrade last month. The ProDot is a textured, press-on dot that adheres to the shutter button in order to provide finite control and finger-padding.

CustomSLR funded the development of ProDot through Kickstarter and met its funding goal in the first 72 hours of the project. The ProDot is now available to buy in packs of two for $9.95 on CustomSLR’s website.
