Reserve of 6 in all image sizes?

HI all, no idea what I have done but I've spent the day at Goodwood today getting sunburnt and my camera won't show a reserve to buffer (shown by half pressing shutter) any higher than 6 in any image size? I'd normally get 11 on RAW and anything up to 24 in most JPEG sizes but now only 6 :thinking:

Also my AF tracking on my 70-200 is slower than a Tamron 70-300 :gag: only a one in 6 keep rate because the camera failed to shoot after 6 :shrug: and I have to wait for the buffer to clear. This process also takes longer than normal on 60MB ps Extreme CF card.

I may have slightly dropped it in it's back pack :suspect:
 
Not sure anyone is going to be able to diagnose a fault based only on that info. If it's had an impact I suppose it's possible you've dislodged or damaged some buffer memory, but unless it's totally separated from the main board I'd have expected it to stop working all together, at least, that's what I'd expect in a PC, never having taken as SLR apart.

I'd suggest it goes back to the nearest Nikon service centre for them to look at.

Yeah, I'm on holiday this week and I have to send the 24-70 off anyhow when I get back because I've done something to it and it jumps over 50mm at the point of focal change over :thumbsdown: I will have to try a re set and see if that cures it, but that means changing everything back to the way I want it. I could save the current settings but if somehow (not sure how I could have) I have changed the settings, saving them would just bring back the issue :bang:

Well I don't have a Nikon but have you tried cleaning the Memory card contacts or re-inserting it?

Yeah I've done all the obvious ones, clean, re clean, format, check contacts try all cards etc... I'm not normally a ask dumb questions type and I hate to say I'm considered someone who knows their way around a Nikon but this has got me doing this :thinking:
 
On my 40d it only does 9 of any size in the buffer while High-ISO Noise Reduction is enabled - anything like that on?
