D70 error message

[ptkeam]

<p>Hello Photo.net community,<br>

I have two D70's that I bought new, use a lot and still love. To day I encountered something I've not seen before. While out shooting and pausing to review using camera's playback, I had a couple of shots that displayed the following message instead of the picture preview:<br>

"No image data in file". <br>

This happened, maybe, three times out of 50 or so pictures I took. I'm thinking that maybe that the shutter just malfunctioned -- ie. didn't open & close at all -- and so nothing was recorded on the sensor. <br>

Any input??? Thanks</p>

<p>I would suggest:</p>

<ul>

<li>Change to a different EN-EL3 battery.</li>

<li>Mark down that CF card, which could be defective. Test your camera with a different CF card.</li>

</ul>

<p>If the problem still occurs, perhaps your D70 is having problems. Maybe it is time to upgrade?</p>

<p>I've had that happen with my D70s & it was a corrupted card (Lexar). I called Lexar & they had me format the card in my computer. It hasn't happened again to the card in the last year (this was about a year ago)...Then again, I use my larger capacity Sandisk cards more often nowadays.</p>

<p>Same thing happened to me on a D80 and SD card. Formatted the card in the computer and hasn't reoccurred since.</p>
