RE: *ist D lens problem -Healed!
Another question is, were the batteries in the camera installed correctly? It's possible to put them in wrong, so that the camera suffers from low voltage.

RE: *ist D lens problem -Healed!
The CR-V3's are hard to put in Wong. since they have a little groove on one side. Even if they were, the camera was absolutely fine except for a problem with a few lenses. When I looked through the manual again, all I could figure was that the backup battery would hold the date and time settings. Does it say anything else I've missed?

You could always drop it (CRASH!) ;-)Besides, that's what back up bodies are for. . .

Correction: The CR-V3's are hard to put in Wong. I meant to say wrong, and I know of no one named Wong that requires batteries ;-) Steven Desjardins Department of Chemistry Washington and Lee University Lexington, VA 24450 (540) 458-8873 FAX: (540) 458-8878 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: *ist D lens problem -Healed!
I moved the batteries from the camera to the grip. I have been using the CR-V3 variety. As mentioned, I think the important part was the rebooting that occurred when I removed the batteries entirely.

Re: *ist D lens problem -Healed!
My question is, have you since tried it again WITHOUT the grip? And if so, did it revert to not working with those lenses again, or did it keep on keepin' on? tan. 2) My lens problem with my *ist D has gone away. FYI, I had three FA lenses (50 1.4, 100 macro 2.8 and 135 2.8) that could not send aperture info or AF with the *ist D body, even though they worked fine on the MZ-S in A mode. Other A, FA, and sigma AF lenses worked just fine. Extensive contact cleaning did nothing. They began to work after I added the grip, for which I took the batteries out of the camera. I'm convinced this is what worked and that it must have been some electronic glitch. Steven Desjardins
RE: *ist D lens problem -Healed!
It could have been, of course, but are you 100% sure that you actually removed all battery power? Len * There's no place like 127.0.0.1 I moved the batteries from the camera to the grip.

RE: *ist D lens problem -Healed!
I tried what Tanya suggested, and the camera/lens works without the grip. I also waited a while before re-inserting the batteries inot the body. Since there is not little button battery hiding somewhere that I know of, the camera should have been completely powered down.

RE: *ist D lens problem -Healed!
There is a button battery on mine. It resides under a not so little circular cover that unscrews. The button battery is a CR2016. The battery cover is on the bottom of the camera body.

Re: *ist D lens problem -Healed!
Yeah Steve, I get that, :-) but what I wanted to know is - have you tried it again without the grip? And if so, did the lenses continue to work? Or does it now ONLY work whilst using the grip? tan.

Re: *ist D lens problem -Healed!
it's in the manual Herb - Original Message - From: Steve Desjardins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 3:18 PM Subject: RE: *ist D lens problem -Healed! Oops, I missed that. So now the interesting question: what gets reset when you remove the main batteries and what is kept in memory by the back-up. A little experimentation showed me that it keeps things like date, time, PF settings, etc. The manual also recommends removing the batteries for long term storage.
