I started to remove a card from the D7100. The card wasn't even out of the slot. This message turned up on the little screen.
Hmmm
Looked it up in the manual and three books. Then online. No luck.
Clear the cards and formatted in the camera. Same message from img #1.
The big screen showed this message. One I've seen before. Blew out the slot. Formatted the cards in the camera. Same old shit.
and the little LCD kept blinking.
Keep in mind all these cards work fine in my lowly D3100.
Went online to get more info. Got instructions to reset the camera. One set involves two buttons on the outside and there is a reset in the menu.
Tried them both several times. Nada.
Now I'm getting irritated. Going to the last resort. Two of my new lenses need a camera with a bigger buffer anyway.
Decided to give it one last try before the Clarkson Method.
Pulled the battery and put it back in, Put in the D3100's slow card in slot two. My fast SanDisk card in slot one. Viola! now all is well.
Anyone know what happened?
