neo_fragoso Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 When I push the play button to see my pictures the picture appears but when I try to go back and forth to see the other pictures the display just freezes. It has happened about 70 % of the time. The majority of the time I have to turn the camera off and on so it can start working again. Has anyone had this problem and if yes do you know what it is?

vibol_hou Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I have not had that happen to me. Have you tried using a different memory card, fully formatted with the camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umd Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I experienced something similar, display sometimes freezes when I zoom in and browse the picture. This happens very rarely and I believe it happens when the battery is low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_fragoso Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 The battery is fully charged... and Now that I am thinking about it... It started when I started using the SB-800. It never happened before I started using the flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpahnelas Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 i have never had a problem like you describe. when you say the display freezes, do you mean you cannot push the shutter half-way and blank the display? if the camera locks up, i'd get nikon support's opinion on it.

kurt_holter Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I have had my 3 D300's since early December 2007. I've never had this happen with any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorwei Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hi Nivaldo - Have you tried a different memory card? The D300 may be having difficulties reading the images off the current one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo_dark Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 sounds like a card issue. Otherwise, you could try updating your firmware perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_fragoso Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 I have tried a different memory card. Now that I think about it this problem never happened when I was not using the SB-800 flash. Somehow the flash is making my camera go crazy. I am going to have my flash replaced and see if the problem happens again. I also updated the firmware to the 1.02. Thanks for all the help everyone.

liljuddakalilknyttphotogra Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Good luck, I have not had that problem either... Lil :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo5 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 This has fortunately never happened to me with my D300. I use a pretty old Lexar WA 40x 1gb card quite often when I'm out shooting and it works very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam_ellis Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 This DID happen to me and it's very frustrating, especially as a wedding photographer and I repeatedly check my lcd for blinks and the histogram. Long story short, I sent the camera back to Nikon and they "fixed" it. When I got it back, 5 minutes after starting my next wedding, it did the same thing AND started giving me false low battery warnings. I sent it back again and they replaced the camera. Unfortunately, it's still doing the same thing. I'm buying a second D300 anyway, will use this one as a backup, and send it back again when I have the room in my schedule. I did notice that if you accidentally push the flash mode button (the one with the lightning bolt) on the front of the camera, the lcd will freeze up. If you let go it will work again and I'm 99% positive that this is not the only cause of the problem or I would have picked up on this before. It's such a small button that it's easy to not notice you're pressing it. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur_li1 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Nivaldo, I've got the same problem which I described in this thread: http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00PMY5 Did you ever get this resolved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
