The D2Xs I bought from an elder couple incl.lots of goodies for about 200 quid , she told me it was a heirloom from her late father and that she did not know anything about photography, the NOVA 5AW made by Lowe-Pro looks as New, the flashes work flawlessly , bits and thingies I`ve no idea what they`re for , MH-21 , Two ENEL 4 A batts., respectively on pos.2 and pos.0...the bag was bulging , clearly they had cramped as much in it as possible as to say " here,all yours "..my own fault for not inspecting more thoroughly, ...I switched on the camera,LCD sprang to life ,camera fired..so I do not feel that I`ve been had , allow me to tell you what it is that` s rather odd about it..

Nikon D2Xs ;

Switching on camera , everything seems to work, LCD lights up...menu works...Mirror is in the " UP " position, ERR shows on top LCD ...depressing shutter button , mirror flips Down and then Up again..ERR disappears..depressing shutter button again causes the Aperture Lever to Move..depressing shutter button again (3rd time )...Mirror flips down/Up...it seems as if the mirror " thinks " that the shutter is open...everything goes so fast that it s difficult to know for shure,but I`ve got the impression that the shutter is Not working..yet it does not look damaged at all, on the whole the camera looks as new,certainly well cared for...and when ACS can give me a decent quote ( there`s still the freight cost Denm.- England -Denm ) then I ill send it in, for looking at what I got , the D2Xs has costed me say 100 quid..if ACS can fix it for a reasonable fee then I would have a very Nice Camera for an okay price...just trying to be fair here :-)



Don't suppose it's stuck in the Bulb setting?

Have you tried a two button reset?

Before you go any further, try replacing the clock battery, CR1616, it lives in the main battery compartment. Then check that the camera is set to something sensible and have another try.

Two button reset..changed clock battery...mirror is up..depress button..mirror down/up again...press again , aperture lever comes down..turn off camera, mirror down/up , aperture lever comes back up..

sigh..

How else can it be stuck in the " bulb" setting ?

You need to get some service diagnostics done. Nikon used to provide these free if you go to them. Probably not these days!

Yes, I `m convinced that You`re right...but Nikon danmark said the D2Xs is too old...like being caught in between the proverbial Hammer / Anvil..

Robert, do you think that Your mate her in Dk. can do that..?..Who was he again ?..( Please ) :-)

Erik Lund, Copenhagen, to be found on the Nikon Gear forum.

I think I gave some sort of contact info in a previous thread about a lens of yours.

One possible suggestion... Take out the main battery and the clock battery and leave for several days, to allow a complete reset of what the two button reset can't touch. Seems like a glitch in the firmware, also perhaps, worth doing a firmware update, even if it's on latest firmware?

Perhaps clutching at straws here but it's zero cost.
