D500

Yesterday morning, we met with some friends to go to a cars and coffee meet at JZM Porsche. Chris, who drives a Cayman GT4, said he had a spare seat so i asked my 14 year old if he wanted to ride with him and I'd follow. Of course my son jumped at it... on the condition that he used my d500 :eek:

we met up with another friend in his GT3 RS - this is the least sharp IMO but not bad for 1/50s at 70mph

My son didn't stop smiling - a great day for him and he did pretty well with the camera. Motorways aren't the easiest place to get photogenic shots and the majority are shot through the Cayman's windscreen

I know, unfortunately, how it feels to damage a camera.:( Hopefully you have it insured.

unfortunately I do no have it insured :(
it still all works as it should just the bottom lines circled are missing so I would say is more annoying than anything :(
I have now ascertained that if I turn it off the lines where 400 is at the bottom reappear as the pic counter so I would hazard a guess that my problem is a connection issue.

You should give the camera a really good check. Especially things like focus, as a serious blow, can cause misalignment. Hopefully not, but worth checking, as early as you can.
