Thanks for all your input. Trying to decide whether it is worth 260.00 to repair or just chock up as a loss. A little disappointed to see Nikon charging so much when it appears this is manufacturing defect. Oh well.

I just got my camera back from the Cannon Factory and they said found that it was an internal issue, they replaced "something" and sent it back and it works just fine! Sorry this isn't a more helpful post for those of you without a warranty! I'll keep looking through my paperwork at home and see if they were more specific AT ALL in stating what the mystery "something" was that didn't work. Just wanted to update as I promised I would!

I'm having this issue, too. Camera seems to get confused and the whole frame becomes blurry rather than focusing on the one object. It takes several attempts to register what I'm trying to do, and then it's too late - opportunity has passed and subject has moved. Time to really study my manual I guess or maybe this is a shortcoming with this camera.

I have the same problem and mine miss focuses too. I have contacted Nikon, but I'm still waiting for a reply. I'm curious if this lens is a waste of money? Did you guys ever find out what was wrong?

Well thanks a whole lot. I was having the same problem and was prepared to buy another camera since I have had mine for a few years and read how much it was going to cost to evaluate the problem. I smacked mine as well and it works. Will blow out with a can of air as well.

There was an issue with a lot of D600 with the oil, but there were many 1000's that did not have the issue... My D600 was one of them, mine does not have any more or less dust/oil issue then any of my other DSLR's. If you do get one with the issue then Nikon will replace the shutter for free... or just get the D610 or D750.

Hi All, very interested in these postings but still can't get this lens to work with my D70 in M or AF. I too get fEE message displayed and shutter won'r fire, even after locking off at f22 etc. Starting to wonder if its a camera setting or am I missing something?

Hi, sorry to hear that, i have no idea if fixing is needed, but have you checked if it is locked? there is a wheel you can can turn near the shutter relese that might be set to lock and thus you can't use it.hope this is the only issue and that this will solve your problem.

I have never had that problem but I would say that it is probably the shutter moving quickly. That is the only "moving" part on this camera. I would call them for their suggestion. I have never had a problem with their customer service. 800-847-8269

My problem is when I press the button half way, I get the red (out of focus) many times before the green screen comes on. This causes me to miss many good shots. Returned camera for repairs twice under the warranty and the problem still exist. Disappointed with this Nikon camera. Will not buy Nikon again. Also, blurred pictures every so often when the screen indicates green.. :(

Sorry, wish I could help you, I'm kinda a novice about picture taking myself. I suspect it is a lighting problem concerning shutter speed or an exposure problem. You should have it checked by a friend with good camera expertise.

Honestly, I have not ideas. I'd think there could some small particle may have got into zoom section of lens and prevent the cover shutter from closing. the camera reports the error because of it.I just slide in a piece of thin plastic paper around "trying" to clear things up ,and lightly tap the lens while extending & extracting the lens. somehow, that cleared the problem by luck. but I really don't know how long it will last though.

Make sure the lens is switched to A or AF and not M. Make sure it is locked into the smallest (highest numerical) f-stop setting (some lenses have locks some do not and some don't even have a setting ring). Make sure the camera is set on AF and not M. Take a Q-tip and alcohol and clean the electrical contacts on the lens and on the camera. If nothing works buy another. I got perfect D50s and a D60 for under $250.

I am having this same problem, which I didn't previously have with my nikon...I typically use in auto mode....any tips for settings that will render most photographs useable (right now none of my photos are useable).Beware--I'm a frustrated novice!

I dropped my older S8200 camera Christmas day and just purchased another one because I loved this camera so much. I used my camera every week for 2 years. Never did I have this problem. I never had any iissues.I would contact Nikon about the problem and see if they will replace your camera, or at least repair it if it's a warranty issue.

Is the cannon macro/telephoto? That could be a factor. Im not sure. I dont have this lens yet. Though it will be my next lens once I get this return issue with the Sigma resolved.

Nikon released a firmware update in May 2012 that resolved the lockup issue. The left focus issue affected some unknown number of D800s but for the last several months I have not heard of anyone finding such isues with new cameras.
