What I don't get is why the D works so well with Ni-Mh that are
lower in voltage.
The camera isn't as voltage sensitive as it is current sensitive.
NiMh batteries put out something like

problems. (In the D)

...the batteries were in reasonably good condition...
Nick
Reasonably good may be too low for the D. I am new to it, but I've
had problems with alkalines that were still at 1.4 volts. Have you
tried fresh batteries (or fully charged Ni-Mh) to see if the problem
is still there?

It was at the end of a shoot but the batteries were in reasonably good
condition. I have never had a camera failure in 20 years, so this is a
little scary.
Funny thing is that I have a PZ1P and several process paid rolls of Velv

In my experience whenever a mechanical device begins making a funny
noise it's a sign of impending failure. The only question is
will it cost more to repair it after it fails or make no difference in
the repair cost. In the case of cameras it usually costs less to have them
fixed before the cat

Has anyone heard of this? Should I send it off to Pentax for
repair? I am in Vancouver, so I have to send it to Ottawa for
repair - any thoughts on packaging it safely?
Don't send it to Ottawa.

I have had my *istD for about 10 months now and the other day the I got a
proverbial "funny" noise. It sounds like the shutter is making a rough
zip-like sound (though I suppose it could be the mirror). Exposure still
seems to be OK, but I don't feel comfortable about the mechanical stability
