dkCambridgeshire Posted March 5, 2014 Share #1 Posted March 5, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) https://nikoneurope-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/59693 Interesting that Nikon's 'Solution' for the D600's "multiple granular dust spots in images" is the offer of a free service including, if necessary, shutter replacement. I wonder if this microscopic dust problem is affecting other cameras more than manufacturers care to admit and if it is inherent in current focal plane shutter designs? The dust appears to be generated as a result of friction between moving shutter components. Similar dust issues have been reported with the M240 and Leica Mayfair recommends thorough cleaning all around the shutter when sensor cleaning. I wonder if certain types of focal plane shutters are more prone to this problem? dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted March 7, 2014 Share #2 Posted March 7, 2014 Seeing that most brands use Copal shutters it is indeed logical to assume that any shutter problems will not be restricted to one camera maker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted March 7, 2014 Seeing that most brands use Copal shutters it is indeed logical to assume that any shutter problems will not be restricted to one camera maker. I'm intrigued as to why Nikon are offering D600 shutter replacement , but only 'if necessary', for what appears to be a dust problem caused by the shutters' moving parts. When cars are recalled by manufacturers they usually modify all of them - not just those where the symptoms are more noticeable. I examined a well used D600 this week which has never been subjected to a thorough shutter and sensor clean and there was no dust visible; and I also took several photos of newsprint using the camera and the white areas of the images showed no evidence of dust. Maybe there was only a batch of D600 cameras with faulty shutters? dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
