Nikon D50

-
I have been having a few problems with the Nikon D50 of late. 

Due to firmware limits I have only been using 1gb and 2gb SD cards.

The camera is fitted with a Nikkor 28-100mm lens. The problem is that the shutter won't operate and in viewfinder display it shows an r07 error.

Googling gives the following: 

The "r07" message on Nikon cameras (commonly D70/D80) is usually not an error, but an indicator that 7 shots remain in the memory buffer. If it flashes or prevents shooting, it indicates a full buffer, communication error, or power issue. Reset by turning the camera off, removing the battery/memory card for 15 minutes, or cleaning lens contacts. 

If there are 7 shots in the memory buffer why does it do it as soon as you turn it on after weeks of no use? 

I know this is an information display, but it shouldn't be 🔒 locking the shutter release before any images have been taken and saved.

If anyone knows, then please comment.

I took photos from the garden to see if it is working. It's sunny. So why not?

Roadtest - Suzuki VZ800 Marauder

This road-test was originally published in 1997 on the original SOC Geocities hosted website and transferred over here when Yahoo killed off Geocities. When Suzuki offered to let me have the VZ800 Marauder for a week or two to test, I was very happy to have a 'free' bike for the duration of two big runs to the BMF/ACU National Rally and a Suzuki Owners Club Scotland trip. At the southern entrance to Glen Coe  The only factory custom bike I have ever ridden before was an early Yamaha XS400 back in the early Eighties. It had not endeared me to custom bikes! After a trip to the FIM Rally in the Czech Republic in 1995 with a riding partner on a Suzuki Savage, I had begun to think that although not actually my cup of tea, with real perseverance, these bikes could be more than 'canteen cowboy' outfits. Near Loch Ness So it was with a bit of trepidation that I picked the bike up from Ken Fulton, the SOC's magazine Editor (at the time), who had in turn ...

Roadtest - Suzuki TU250X

(Originally written and published on the old Geocities hosted SOC website in 1997)   With the UK Government thinking of ways to force commuters onto public transport on the one hand, soaking the motorist with the other hand - road tolls, commuting into City tolls, increased in Vehicle Excise Duty on top of another hike in petrol tax, the motorcycle couldn't be better placed to provide personal transport when you want it, in a more 'environmentally friendly' way. So when I was offered the latest addition to the Suzuki commuter range, the TU250X, I was actually quite looking forward to trying a bike that might fit the bill for the beleaguered commuter of the future. During my trips to Spain this Spring, I saw quite a few TU's on the streets in Murcia. Although not as popular as the Yamaha SR250, there were significantly more than you'd see in any UK town. The Mediterranean weather is far more attractive for people to consider biking. Most of the ci...
