Morning TP,
After a little help with some recent indifferent image results.
Whilst covering some races over the last couple of weeks I have been getting inconsistent image exposures on quick consecutively taken shots. The settings for the two images will be the same but the result will be different. Either the first image being the 'correct' exposure and the second being under exposed and blown out, or the other way around.
Couple of examples...
1. ISO 640. F4. 1/1600s
2. ISO 640. F4. 1/1600s
As you can see the images are only a split second apart but the second is over exposed. The next couple of images are the next in sequence. The camera has now dropped down to 1/2000s but the same result happens.
3. ISO 640. F4. 1/2000s
4. ISO 640. F4. 1/2000s
5. ISO 640. F4. 1/2000s
This starting happening on my slightly older D3s a couple of weeks ago. It's currently on 150k clicks, so I sent it off to Fixation for a check up (yet to hear from them....) so I took my other 'newer' one out this weekend and the same thing started to happen. This D3s is on less than 20k clicks.
If there a setting in the camera that is causing this? Is it a shutter problem? A lens problem? (Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VR1). It seems to happen more at this running races than at the football/rugby, infact I can't seem to remember it happening at any sort of match. Buffering problem maybe? I don't know.....
If anyone can shed some light (no pun intended) on this it would be hugely appreciated.
Seba
