Black Image from My Nikon D3!

Can you imagine the frustration when you have in your hand the world most advanced DSLR camera and the image came out to be totally black once in a while?

I was haunted by this problem for a few weeks. Calling up Nikon drew a blank other than the suggestion that I sent the camera in for a checkup. Fortunately, I found the solution as I was relating this problem to my friend. He suggested that I should reload the firmware. True enough, I came back and reload the camera firmware and the problem is now gone for good.
I posted this so that other people who might experience similar "misbehavior" by your beloved DSLR to do the same... reload the firmware.

William said...: Gab,
The instruction is on the camera manufacturer's website. It applies only when you can reload or update your firmware. To reload, you pretend that you are updating!; 26 February, 2010 23:12

Welcome

Dear Visitor,

I am pleased that you have come to my blogs. Please do browse around. One of the initial objective for my blog is to report on latest event or happening. Now that many people have smart phone and can post latest news faster than anyone. So, I will not blog on event anymore. Perhaps, only selectively. I will now shift my attention to my photography. Hence, the blog objectives (not necessarily in order) are:

1. Exercise;

2. My photography;

3. Latest local news or events which is worth my time to blog;

4. Inspirational articles;

5. Humours.

I don’t normally write a lot but rather use my photos to tell the story.

I hope that your visit here has been worthwhile.

When you leave comment, please do not use Anonymous. Otherwise, I may not publish them. Thanks.

I knew that many people have used my photos without my permission and their usage may be causing misunderstanding. I don't write for anyone else and I have nothing to do with their postings. Note also that all my photos are digitally stamped with copyright information. Even if my photo has been edited, the copyright info stays.
