Yeah that sucksSuppose it is worth trying. It is only brand new out of the box this evening.

Hopefully I’m wrong and it’s something simple. Have you tried a factory reset?
Definitely not right. I can’t think of a setting that you can do that, nor can I think why you’d want to do that. I’d try a reset and if that doesn’t work send it back for a replacement I’m afraid.I uploaded a video to dropbox, you can see my kitchen, then the view on the rear LCD and then everything upside down in the viewfinder. Weird. https://www.dropbox.com/s/8afbto97bc4xky8/20200702_212701.mp4?dl=0
Thanks. A reset has done nothing, will get on to them today to get it returned.Definitely not right. I can’t think of a setting that you can do that, nor can I think why you’d want to do that. I’d try a reset and if that doesn’t work send it back for a replacement I’m afraid.
That really sucks, feel for youThanks. A reset has done nothing, will get on to them today to get it returned.
The shutter on my D750 failed on Tuesday too, 2 cameras parcelled up and going off today. Not sure what the z6 situation says about Nikon quality control when it was the first thing I saw after turning the camera on and putting it to my eye.That really sucks, feel for you
That is weird. Never heard of that on any camera. I agree it should go back, but maybe speak to Nikon customer service in case there’s a simple explanation.I uploaded a video to dropbox, you can see my kitchen, then the view on the rear LCD and then everything upside down in the viewfinder.

Well it doesn't appear to be a common fault, so I wouldn't have thought it a 'quality control' issue at all.Not sure what the z6 situation says about Nikon quality control when it was the first thing I saw after turning the camera on and putting it to my eye.
Exposure info was also upside down, and also looked weirdly mirror imaged as well as upside downThat's really weird, it's as though the EVF has been installed upside down but then all the exposure info is the right way up at the bottom ? Very weird.
It's not an Australian market camera is it
I'd actually contact email customer services and explain how disappointed you are with your Nikons, first the shutter and then the EVF. They usually bump it up as priority if nothing else.The shutter on my D750 failed on Tuesday too, 2 cameras parcelled up and going off today.

Didn’t look at his avatar too closely. I just thought he was a fan of the Wonder Horse ...Just noticed your new avatar Toby, perchance a Liverpool supporter
They look amazingly good. Mine is in the country now (coming from the Netherlands) and should be here Monday, touch wood. Can’t wait!
Sure amJust noticed your new avatar Toby, perchance a Liverpool supporter
I just sent it back to where I bought it from and they are sending me a new one.That is weird. Never heard of that on any camera. I agree it should go back, but maybe speak to Nikon customer service in case there’s a simple explanation.
I thought that it should have been easy to spot before it left the factory as all you needed to do was turn it on and look into the viewfinder.Well it doesn't appear to be a common fault, so I wouldn't have thought it a 'quality control' issue at all.
Maybe your eye is upside down, and the cam flipped the infos round accordingly.
All the exposure info was upside down too, really odd. It is my first mirrorless camera and I thought I was doing something daftThat's really weird, it's as though the EVF has been installed upside down but then all the exposure info is the right way up at the bottom ? Very weird.

My D750 was part of the recall a few years back and I never bothered sending it in as I never saw any problem with it so maybe that is my own fault. If they replace the shutter now I will probably sell it. I just sent the Z6 back to the shop for a new replacement. Thanks for all your help.I'd actually contact email customer services and explain how disappointed you are with your Nikons, first the shutter and then the EVF.

Well, I didn't look at the images properly, and although they looked OK to me, I just assumed you were unhappy with them, but a smiley would have stopped me looking stupidSorry I thought I'd put smiley faces after my comment clearly I hadn't. Yeah it is harder and a bit more forward thinking needed on some shots. But I'm loving it at the minute
That’s odd. This thread has disappeared from view. I have to search for it.
Have I inadvertently clicked to make it invisible?
Anyone got any ideas ?
