error message OFF

[stephen_justice]

<p>I'm getting this error message with my D200 preventing me from firing the shot. It just started happening and is intermittent up to a point where it becomes continuous. The battery is fully charged, so I don't think that is the problem; could not find this error message in the user's guide. Thanks, as always, Stephen Justice</p>

<p>Do you use the built-in speedlight often? Have you ever had your Nikon D200 in for a service check up?</p>

<p>The D200 is now several years old...digital SLR camera bodies do not go forever (unlike the old Nikon F body cameras) -- you may consider retiring your current body, or get a external speedlight (SB-600, SB-800, etc.).</p>

<p>Have you tried sending a tech support message to Nikon? They're usually pretty quick to get back with an answer.<br>

You might also try doing a reset on your camera if you haven't already.</p>

<p>I have used the pop up flash a lot lately, and the problem surfaced just about then. It has been professionally cleaned several times. The D200 is my "daily driver" that I keep in my backpack for whatever may come my way. I will send a message to Nikon tech, too.</p>
