<p>Hi! I am experiencing a strange problem while shooting video with my D5200. Basically, when I'm shooting the video, everything looks fine. However, when I play the video back on my computer, there's a constant flashing/strobing effect on my video clips. Sometimes it's subtle and in a small area, and sometimes it's very obvious and unpleasant in a large area. It seems like the camera is constantly adjusting to how much light is available. For instance, if I go from shooting towards the ground to up into the sky, it flashes like crazy, especially around the clouds (an issue with white balance, maybe?). I'm not sure what could be causing this. I'm using the basic 18-55mm lens to film. I don't zoom in and out while filming; I just keep it at a fixed length. I switch between shooting manually with the lens and shooting automatic. <br> Before my D5200, I had a D5100, and I never had this problem while shooting video. But I always used a 35mm lens. I'm not sure if that makes a difference.<br> I'm been searching around the web for more information on this issue and how to fix it, but I can't find anything. I'm worried that it might be a faulty camera/lens (I bought mine refurbished), but I'm hoping it's just an issue with my settings or maybe just the fact that I'm not using a great quality lens. I'm basically just looking to get rid of the flashing/strobing effect on my video clips. <br> Thanks for any advice!</p>

<p>Thanks everyone! I went out and bought a couple Lexar SD cards last night. I took a bunch of pictures with the new SD cards, and the error hasn't appeared again. I'm going to give it a week or so and see if it's smooth sailing from here. Hopefully the SD card was, in fact, the problem, and I won't have to return the camera.</p>

<p>Thank you for the tip! Going out to get another SD card right now. </p>

<p>Hi all,<br> Quick question about a recent purchase...<br> I received a refurbished D5200 in the mail today. When I first started snapping photos, everything worked fine. Suddenly, however, I noticed an alarming issue. Each time I took a photo, the LCD screen said, "File cannot be displayed" and the photos were not being recorded (when I hit the playback button, there were no photos).<br> I turned the camera off, took out the memory card, blew on it a bit (I'm not sure if this actually helps, but what the heck), and put it back inside. Ever since, it's been working like a charm. <br> I'm not sure if it was a memory card issue, or if it's a problem with the camera. I have an inkling it's the memory card, but I'm not positive. I've had this memory card for quite some time (a SanDisk 32gb). I originally used it with a refurbished Nikon D5100, and then with a Sony NEX-5N. I can't quite remember, but I think I might've had to do some reformatting business to use the SanDisk card in the Sony. Maybe that's what's causing issues now? <br> It looks like the shutter count on this camera is extremely low (I used the Nikon shutter count website)...only 123. So it obviously wasn't used very much at all - may have just been a returned product or something. Not sure. <br> Anyways, I'm wondering what you guys suggest I do? Would you assume it's a problem with the camera, or the memory card?<br> Thanks for any input...<br> PS. Unfortunately, I do not have any additional memory cards to test in the camera. I'm not sure that would help anyhow, since the SanDisk 32 gb is now working just fine. </p>
