<p>My workflow, shoot a wedding on Saturday. Get up Sunday morning with a pot of coffee, load images in LR, I agree importing / exporting takes a ton of time, and then start going through them. while they are loading I normally prepare by gear for my next job (normally only means removing my rechargeable batteries and cleaning my lenses). Takes me about 2.5 hours to process 1000 images. The trick (as someone else mentioned) is getting things right in camera. <br> The advantage I have is, since I shoot for two different studios, I remove very few of my images (just the obvious bad ones). I FTP them to the studio and let them cull the ones they don't want to present to the client.</p>

<p>I used the blue. Took the screws out, one at a time, and used a toothpick to add a tiny amount to each screw. I was extra careful to not get any blue anywhere other than the screw and screw hole. The weird thing was, while applying the material I examined the screws and they looked undamaged, almost new like. Why the hell they keep backing themselves out of the camera body, just enough to loosen the mount and cause focus lock issues, is beyond me. </p>

<p>Thanks guys. Craig, I've been shooting Nikon for 28 years and in the same boat as you. Never had a camera do this. My other camera, although not a D3s, isn't doing this. I think I might try the "TINY" amount of locktite and see how it works out for this weekend's wedding. Again, thanks for the replies.</p>

<p>Thanks Michael. I considered sending it in to Nikon but only shoot with too cameras and right now too busy to go without this camera. I guess I could rent or barrow one. Was just looking for a quick fix until I slow down in February and before next year's wedding season.</p>

<p>I got a question. First, a little background.<br> I've been having focusing lock issues on my D3s. Drove me nuts. Finally, after about the 5th wedding, I discovered the lens mount on my camera body was pretty loose. To correct the problem I just tightened the screws down and everything worked. Yet, the screws keep loosening after about 3 hours of shooting. I can't even get through a whole wedding and the screws loosen and the focusing lock issue returns. I change lens a lot (which is probably part of the problem) but the camera is made for that and shouldn't be an issue.</p> <p>I spent a few hours on the internet trying to find someone with the same issue and can't.</p> <p>My question. Would putting lock tight on the screws be a no no for a lens mount on the camera body? anyone know?</p> <p>ET</p>
