D7200 stuck on 1/8000th shutter speed

<p>Hi,<br>

Can anyone help?<br>

Just opened my new Nikon D7200 and in Manual mode it seems to be stuck in 1/8000th, which is the faster the camera can go. Every other setting is fine but I can't get it out of 1/8000th in Manual. Any ideas?<br>

FYI, I've had other Nikon's before and very familiar with the camera settings. Previous to the D7200 I've been using a D7000. So far I've reset the camera, changed batteries, checked latest firmware which I have, plus I have attached an SB-600 and detached incase the issue is linked to the flash.<br>

Some online comments talk about a link with the flash hot shoe but that only seems to when cameras are stuck on 1/250th (flash sync speed). <br>

thanks</p>

Re-attached grip and for some reason it sorted itself out. Have read that some 3rd party grips can cause issues so probably just one of those glitches. </p>

Glad it is fine now. Pete, since your original post didn't mention any grip, Nikon or third party, it would be difficult to guess

this problem. Unless the main command dial isn't working, which would have had a lot of other problems, it is very

unlikely for the shutter speed to get stuck.

Since this is a new D7200, I would check it out thoroughly without any grip attached. It sounds like the flash hot shoe is

working with the SB-600. I would also test the pop-up flash, the mic jack, headphone jack and, if possible, the GPS. My

D750 happens to have a non-working GPS jack. Ideally, it would be great to check functionalities with AI-S, AF-D, AF-S,

and E lenses, but I understand not everybody has all of those types of lenses available.

<p>In addition to the checks Shun suggested, I'd advise firing a few shots at the highest shutter speeds. My first sample of D7200 gave ERR 29 and ERR 30 messages at the highest speeds >1/3200 s, and had to be replaced. The shutter and mirror were actually jamming at the higher speeds.</p>

<p>I'm not sure how common (or rare) this shutter fault is, but it's worth checking it out.</p>

<p>A suggestion for any attachment be it grip, flash cord, or flash. When taking it out of the box new, brush the contacts clean with a pencil eraser or fiberglass contact brush to clean off any possible contamination and provide positive electrical contacts.</p>

<p>At least once a year, do this again for your flash shoe, flash, and any other sort of thing.</p>

I have a three year old Nikon D7200. I am the second owner. For about a 6 months the camera has been working just fine. Now when I turn the camera on -- in Shutter Priority Mode I noticed when looking through the view finder that the shutter speed shows 8000 of a sec. I can only get rid of it by first taking a photo with this setting and only then does it budge and returns to a lower setting that does allow me to adjust the shutter speed from there on. Any suggestions? Another thing I've noticed, after taking a shot in manual mode with the Aperture set at let's say, 5.3 and the Shutter Priority mode is a 70/sec then the Shutter speed changes --this happens without the lighting changing.

Thanks in advance!!!

MM Pensil eraser on gold plated contacts is not a good idea, it is abbrasive to te gold layer, and can damage it or even remove it, making the contact more vonerable to oxidation.

Appart from that it leaves residu which can get iton places wher you o not want it (the opposite socket for instance) .

There are special contact cleaners which do not leave residu and are non abrasive available if you think (gold plated) contacts need cleaning ….
