Nikon D80 error message and shutter problem

Richard, is that because, unlike the balky Nikons, your Canon really doesn't have a shutter behind that mirror? ;-)

Haha ............

<p>Hi,<br>

My Nikon D80 (about a year old) has just developed the exact problem Jack describes above. Has anyone learned what the cause actually was, and can I fix the problem without shipping the camera for repair?</p>

 

<p>hello! mine too... exactly yhe same thing happen to me too.... about a yearold.. please if you guys got the reason and have the solution pls... kindly share it to us. thank you so much!</p>

<p>Here's a response I posted on Amazon a while back:<br>

I sent my camera to Nikon repair service near Chicago, http://nikoncamerarepair.com/, and they fixed it. I talked to them before sending it; they said it's probably a defective shutter box, and would cost about $260 to fix. I got the camera back in a week, it was fixed, it cost $260, and there's a 6 month warranty on it. Good service overall. The camera has worked fine since, so we'll see....</p>

 

<p>I've found this

<p>Does anyone know if the guy fixed the err after assembling the cam?</p>

<p>Yep, a bad shutter for sure. Watch the video above and you'll see why they charge $200+ for the repair. I would hope, though, that if that Nikon was less than a year old it would have been free. I had to have shutters replaced in my Canon 10d and 40d. Canon had pity on me and replaced the shutter free in the 40d as both happened in the 13th month, but the 40d had already been in for a button problem. Never had the problem with my XTi and I'm at the 14th month with my 7d. Hopefully no more shutter problems! They weren't <em><strong>close </strong></em>to the shutter numbers that would be expected before failure.<br>

Now glad we settled the 'shutter/no-shutter' issue as I'd be suing Canon for the $200 I paid to get one repaired!</p>

<p>Thanks Hannu Miettinen. My d80 has over 60,000 actuations and has just started doing the same thing. I thought it was dead and I was going to have to have a funeral for it.<br>

It is definitely a lot cheaper for me to send the camera in to be repaired than buy a new one. While my d80 is "just" my backup camera, I sure do love it. Thanks for the info.</p>

<p>How is this problem fixed? Does anyone know why it is caused?<br>

I used a nikkor 70-200 f2.8 (earlier VR model) lens with my D80, first click was fine, the second it jammed. i can see the shutter half closed. pressing the shutter release again, the camera takes a picture, then the next picture will be jammed. <br>

i heard that earlier models have a problem with them (something about ground wire) does this have anything to do with the cause of the jamming shutter problem. <br>

would appreciate advice</p>

<p>Same problem to me, friends, about 26000 actuations and after an island vacation (i took the olympus with me for that, left the d80 resting at home - very hot days, though) it developed the symptoms mentioned by the above users (err blinking message, takes pictures but hit'n'miss situation, difficult to change shutter speeds), if it wasn't for the ccd sensor (its outcome is preferable to me than the cmos's - you know, like fuji reala is the best colour negative etc....) i would have started the operation, thinking about sending it to service..........<br>

I will report on the results asap<br>

peace</p>

I got an fEE error message when I set my Nikon D300 with Sigma 170-500 mm to take Rodeo

coverage. I did not use it because it was not working, I switched camera and showing fEE message so I

figures out it was not the camera just the lens. I'm so glad with Photo.net forum I found the answer, just

rotate and lock the lens to A ring red 32 and it is working now. Thanks to the previous forum, that

answered my question.
