Nikon D70s Error r03 -- Help! - DPChallenge Forums

12/27/2005 12:40:13 PM · #1

Has anyone ever had this error code before on their D70 or D70s: r03? It is displayed in the box showing haw many frames I have left. I couldn't find it in my owner's manual at all. It displays when I try to take a picture, and it won't let me take one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott

The R03 or R04 message relates to the amount of shots you can take before the buffer is full. Usually when shooting in RAW mode.

But my camera won't let me take any shots. When I press the shutter release, it just displays that, and that't it. And when it happened, I had only taken three photos so far, and not very close together.

It sometimes happens if the lens is not fully engaged (put on the camera all the way). Try undoing and redoing the lens and see if it goes away.

I did get the same answer off of the Nikon web site, but I don't see why my camera will not shoot when I press the shutter release.

Perhaps then there is a hard fault in the buffer circuitry or in the chip/memory itself.

OK, I know that r03 is about the buffer, but, have you tried changing the lens? I am just asking because I had a similar thing happen a while back, and just couldn't figure out what was going on. I changed to a different lens, and everything worked fine. I put on the original lens and no problems either.

It's probably far fetched, but it doesn't hurt to try ....

Well, for some odd reason, I left the camera at home today instead of bringing it in -- big mistake on my part -- but I did have the wife try to take the lens off, replace it, and even try a different lens, and it is still giving the same code. I'll try it again when I get home, but if there are any other suggestions, please let me know.

I wonder if maybe I accidentally shut the camera off when it was still recording to the CF card, and that did it. I don't know for sure, but that is always a possibility too. I wonder how that can be fixed or checked. Any ideas on that too?

I was taking long night shots, and could have been careless and shut it off on accident during the noise reduction phase, and so maybe the CF card got fried, then I took a few photos in the camera memory, but they couldn't be written to the card, so they are taking up the internal memory.

try swapping memory cards if you can.

Oh well. I'll go back to my cave now.

The message board I just read said basically the same as these type of errors for Canon:
Remove lense, replace
Remove battery, replace
Change shooting mode - try full auto, jpeg not raw
Reset camera to factory defaults
Replace/format CF card

Usually if you physically turn off the camera during a wrtie operation, the camera will not actually power down until the write is completed. At least it is this way with Canon.

OK. I'll give those a try tonight and get back with any of you tomorrow if it doesn't work.

Thanks for all your help!
