Railfan Technology > Nikon D200 Camera; Battery - False no charge

With a fully charged battery, my Nikon D200 suddenly indicates a low battery with the flashing symbol in the viewfinder on an intermittent basis (I've tried several EN-EL3e batteries). Top display LCD shows 1 bar level. When this happens, the aperture display changes to f 2.5, even with a lens that's only f3.5 maximum aperture, and the shutter may or may not fire but with a clunk that results in a black image. Sometimes, shutting the camera off then on again cures the problem temporarily. Unfortunately, problem reoccurs on irregular basis. Camera warranty ran out. New lens - what gives?


Anyone else encountering this Nikon D200 issue?

Check for firmware updates. I had similar problems with mine. After the updates, problem seems to have disappeared.

try nikonusa.com there is a firmware update for that issue.

Mine just started doing the same thing. Glad to hear there's a software update! I'll give it a try, too.
