Dear ALL,

I am getting to a point of really really sick of my D90 lockup/no response problem!! I sent it to service center and found no problem. They changed the contact module for me, but I m still getting the same problem with no error message. Mainly the lens will no do the autofocus when I half press the shutter button.

As of today, I still could not figure out the pattern of causing it lock-up, nor to find the pattern to unlock it when it happens. It works with below means from time to time: e.g. re-install the lens, re-install the SD card, On/Off the camera.

I just want to know if it is a common problem to ALL D90, or just my bad luck with my D90!

Therefore, if u do have similar problem, pls help to reply to this mail. So that I can conclude if I should get another camera. I missed so many shots already!!! : (

Thank you!

C Hing,

如果你部Ｄ９0有 lock 機情况, 請在此報到, 以解我對的D90懷疑!

Thank you! Thank you!

我部D90又無事wor...........

我都冇問題,

你有冇check 支len?
focus 物件是近東西嗎?

[rover]

d90 唔用會轉備用模式, 自己可以改轉既時間, 亦都可以check下

我只有一次出現問題，原來自己傻乎乎LOCK左SD，RELEASE SD的LOCK就OK了。

多謝大家提供的意見! But.....

1. NOT lens problem, coz happens with 3 different lens, A16, 70-200 2.8 VR, and Tokina 10-17 wide angle. And I sent the 70-200 for checking as well with the D90 and found no problem.

2. Not too close focus problem for sure.

3. Don't think it's 備用模式 issue, as the display is active.

4. Not SD card lock issue, as I was in the middle of shooting.

Thank you anyway!

OK, I just got another confirmation from friend's friend.

Here for record.

Seems like u guys are the lucky bunch!!

Another thing puzzle me is that there is still no firmware upgrade for the D90 from Nikon. It's firmware is perfect???

Up to now, 136 of C Hing read my post and only 1 reported problem with his D90!

Just had another confirmation from my friend who has below problem:

"Yes! It happens to me many times before! Mine was the 快門/光圈freeze咗 plus autofocus dead with a blinks of "F- -". At first, I thought it's the lens problem. It happens to me whenever I use it with Tamron 300m lens and I thought it must be the attachment of the lens and the body.

But it happened again during my Singapore trip where I was using the Nikon lens.

Not sure really what's happened but all I do is to turn off the camera and on again then no more freeze up and "F- -"!"

my cousin's d90 has the same problem as well.
at the end, he sold his d90 at dcfever and bought another DSLR

[DevilCharlie]

It seems like that the problem does exists but not to many of the users!

The question now is : How the hell I m going to get it fixed!!! I was hoping Nikon will come out with a new firmware which may do the trick, but as of today, still no sign of the release!!

Any CHing has any clever suggestion? other than selling it?

[DevilCharlie]

Junking it is more like it!!
