Tobers Posted September 7, 2023 Share #1 Posted September 7, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Very strange. Last night I was shooting some 60+ second exposures with my Q3. Halfway through one of the exposures, I got a message in (I think) blue text on the screen saying “Please turn the camera off and then on again” message. I may not have the wording exactly right. It was definitely an odd colour unlike the usual red/grey colour scheme. As I was busy trying to get the shot before clouds covered the stars, I turned it off and on again and it was all OK with no recurrence. But I didn’t have time to make a proper not of the specific message or take a pic of it with my phone. Any clues? The camera wasn’t warm or hot.

Camera Guy Posted September 8, 2023 Share #2 Posted September 8, 2023 Got my camera yesterday and the exact same thing happened to me today. The last thing I did was to try out continuous modes. Out of nowhere I got the message to restart the camera but that didn't help, I had to remove the battery. My guess is stuck shutter? Welcome, dear visitor!
