Keep in mind the rated life is only an average; nothing will happen just because you’ve reached that magic number. A shutter replacement is typically about a $400 repair. The error you have described is not uncommon; it could be an indication of a failing shutter, particularly if it repeats itself. But it could also be caused by a low battery. It’s not serious in and of itself.

if shutter count reach its maximum, does it mean that the camera will die as well? or it will only have to buy or change some parts? and one more question sir, this problem “Error.Press shutter release button again”, does it mean the camera is dead at all or it just have to change or replaced some parts of the camera? thanks… (-:

That’s pretty typical – shutter should have plenty of life left in it. No problem.

My current D2x is currently at 385,905 on the shutter. And its still like new. My D200 died at just ovet 260k. Its like everything else. Once you look after your gear and get them serviced you should hsve years of enjoyment.

Sir, I want to thank you for all the great information. You and those folks who visit your site are doing a fine job of helping those of us who don’t know jack about cameras (Nikons). As a senior person, the infor I gather from your site helps me help my grandkids get a better grip on how to use their cameras. THANKS AGAIN

Wow, we just checked and my old D3 is up to almost 400,000. No wonder it is getting flakey. Doesn’t work right above 1/1000.
