Is this a fault or is it normal
#1
Hi there,



My D3s which is fairly new about 6 month old, when I use CL and CH sometimes I do not see a defference between the speed and sometimes CH is faster which should be the case all the time, am I doing something wrong or my Camera is faulty?



The other issue is, while I was shooting in CH (Contineous High), the LCD at the back where ISO, WB..etc is starts blinking, is this normal? even the top LCA screen blinks which I did not notice/see on my old D300, again is this normal?



I would like feed back from you guys please as I am fed up with this bloody camera and I wish I had not even bought it



Thanks

The D3/D3s/D30/D300s do not always reach the FPS speed quoted by Nikon, it depends on how difficult the camera finds tracking the subject. Since your info is a bit sparse, I will have to guess that it is normal. The quoted numbers by Nikon just are a bit optimistic. Probably the lens used can also make a difference.

Just to make sure, you're not using shutter speeds that makes it impossible to reach max speed?

I was using 1/1000 at least.



What about the blinking LCD at the back, I did not notice this when I check D3s on You Tube



Thanks all

Walid, are you happy with the IQ of the camera? A D3S should be tops. If you are, do you really care about tblinking lights?

I think it's a pretty terrible answer to be honest <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Smile' />

If he has bought it new, and that this blinking is not supposed to be there, I guess he has every reason to know it so that he can return it for inspection as the problem might worsen over time. Better have it fixed under warranty. If he bought it second hand, it might also tell the state of the object has been incorrectly described.



Walid, as for shooting speed, upon quick browsing, it seems the CL can be set anywhere between 1-9 fps. Making the situation where you can't really tell between cl & ch very likely. Something to check ?



That being said, if this & blinking lights are able to make you feel so fed up with a state of the art pro body, maybe it's too much a camera for you <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Sad' /> ???



Hope this helps,

S.
