Nikon D80 Processor slow down: Has anyone heard of this happening?
634846
When your camera reads "job nr" the NR means "noise reduction." This is a setting inside the menu of your camera (called "long exposure noise reduction"). It's likely you turned it on without thinking (as I did) because you knew you were taking long exposure photos. I have found that it makes a large difference, though in my long exposure architectural shots, so I left it on. Slight inconvenience, but good results.

I would suggest getting the D610 instead at this point. All those folks that claimed that there Was no serious problem with the sensor on the D600 now have to explain why Nikon has a new model out in just one year. And it only has one area of improvement- the shutter. The shutter was the suspected culprit. Hmmm...

I am familiar with the problem, but don't know the answer. The autofocus is too slow and frustrating when trying to take quick shots. I am looking for a replacement camera.

Thank you very much for your response. I was beginning to think I was the only one with this problem. Your explanation is probably correct. I have had two other digital cameras and neither had this problem. I doubt if much can be done about it...

I am not familiar with the Nikon D80 but I will relate to you my experience. I have not used this filter on a Digital camera yet. I have shot lots of B/W IR with film. I used ASA 50 with the focus slightly off as IR is not the same wavelength as what we see. I have shot only B/W on weathered buildings/structures. The results is usually what I am looking for. Now, with digital I just purchases a filter but will not have a chance to use it until late this month in Wyoming and Montana (ghost towns). Bottom line is if you are shooting B/W, set your ASA to 50 and slightly out of focus. I have no experience with color. You may have to do a little experimenting to get what you want. If you want I can send you some of my photos after I get back from my trip. You might also try using a red filter.

Idk. We have a Nikon 3200 and have no issues. It's a simple plug and play. Only issue we had was when it was off. Lol

I have experienced the same thing but my camera is a few years old. Initially I had an awful time with its flash not working. Just as the warranty would expire, the flash stopped functioning. Nikon fixed it once and replaced the entire camera the second time. But now with this shutter problem, I am fed up. I do not trust the camera, and Nikon by extension. I have a 35 year old Nikkormat which is in my attic, which never gave me any problems. Bummer. I am in the market for another camera, not a Nikon.

My setup is the same. However, I am using a D5100, a DX body and an FX lens. I believe this is causing the problem. Are you using an FX body?

The reviews I have seen (the in-depth for real ones, not the ones on sales sites) talk about the P80's lens slowness while trying to take pictures. I'm sure it's not as slow as the old (3-4 years ago) digital cameras but evidently it is a glaring issue in certain light situations. I am a Nikon shooter for over 30 years and have D200 DSLR now which I am very happy with, but I bought a FZ28K for a trip to Paris and am so far very happy with it. The iA mode is really pretty amazing - great exposure in almost all situations.

That is awesome! I called almost 2 years ago complaining about this problem and they basically wanted to sell me an upgrade for a $100 discount - terrible! Will be sending my camera back asap. Has anyone sent it back already and gotten a replacement? Would love to hear your story!

Yes, that's probably the image stabilization unit. It has some free movement when camera is not powered on - that's normal behavior. Don't know how robust this is on the long term, but from the little I tested it seemed fine. I'd be more concerned about battery life, which is relatively short.

Thank you for your observation. The reason I was worried is that my d700 doesn't rattle and it is really alarming to get a long awaited $3000 camera and have it sound as if it has a screw or small part bouncing around inside. I'd love to hear from any others who have received their d800's as to whether they rattle also.

I've noticed this as well. I wonder if it has something to do with the image stabilizer?

Subjectively not as fast as a Nikon D4, but what is. Just shot a forth of july parade. I see no discernible lag in my so far limited use. There is a small lag before your next shot. Not suitable I think for wildlife in motion.Bill Byrd

Also note that any camera will slow down the "time between shots" if you use flash and maximum resolution and HD. But 5-10 seconds is absurd. Let us know if the extra firmware update improves this.

$3,000.00 cameras are not maracas and should not sound like one when in motion. Clearly, there is a loose part somewhere. My advice? Return it. I have been using Nikon for over thirty years and after the D800 fiasco I will sell and move to the D5, with not much regret, as Nikon's customer service and respect has really suffered.

I timed my processing speed on my camera and it is 8 seconds and seems to take longer after multiple shots. Thanks for the tip about the shutter button. I tried that and it works for about 3 shots than the camera seems to hesitate and the shutter button will not depress. Maybe that is how it is supposed to work and 3 consecutive shots is all that is needed. I just don't know if my camera is working as it should and I am expecting too much or if there is a defect in the camera.Thanks for the help.
