My *istD is on the fritz and I'm kind of depressed about it. Hoped you guys would be understanding and sympathetic.
I took it on a one-week trip to costa rica and it stopped working (or displayed erratic behaviour) for about half a day while I was there, and finally started up again. I just kept taking the batteries out and letting it sit for a couple of hours, and putting it back in, until it started working again. I'm willing to blame high humidity, even though no one else is. It has been working for the past 3 weeks since I have been back, except for Wednesday, when it stopped working in a different way. It decided that I had zero photospace left on my CF card, and when I hit the shutter release, the shutter stayed open until I switched off the camera. I took out the batteries, put them back in. After some initial confusion, the camera decided I had room on the card after all. I'm taking it on a hike this weekend, but on Monday it's going to get mailed back to the camera repair place. It was just there last month before the trip, and they cleaned it and checked everything. I called the repair place this afternoon just to make sure I wasn't being a worrywart, and that this was a problem they could hopefully find and fix. Please send good thoughts to my camera: I want them to find something wrong, that is small and cheap to fix, that will solve all these problems. If they don't find anything, I don't see how I'll ever be able to put trust in my camera again. -- skye :(
