D810 locked up

<p>I searched to see if anyone else has experienced this issue recently, but only found a post from 2012 involving D4 and D800 bodies. Yesterday I was shooting a conference indoors with my D810 using flash. About halfway through I noticed the top LCD was lit and the shutter release would no longer function. I tried to turn the camera off and back on but that didn't work either. In fact the LCD remained lit even after switching it off. Finally I removed the batteries from both the body and grip and that fixed the problem. Has anyone else experienced this? I have never experienced this with any other body. I am going to email Nikon to see if there is a known issue, but just thought I would check with you guys first.</p>

<p>I don't believe it's happened to be. Yet. :-) I don't use flash much, though, if that might be a factor.</p>

<p>I doubt that this is a common, wide-spread problem or we would have seen lots of posts about this all over the internet.</p>

<p>If this problem happens again, I would definitely send the D810 to Nikon for a check up. Is it still under warranty?</p>

<p>Yes, it is still under warranty but I'd better check the expiration date. I took the flash off first to see if that would fix it, but it didn't. Hopefully it was just a one time occurrence. I have another job tonight but it is sports related and I won't be using the D810. I will play with it over the weekend to see if I can replicate the issue.<br>

One thing I didn't check was the flash cord I was using (I was using a flash bracket). I should have disconnected it as well but at the time I was just trying to quickly get everything working again and felt very confident that taking the batteries out would solve it for the time being.</p>
