Z9 Failure
averity:
WT! happened to my Z9?
I thought I was taking good care of my camera, it has just a couple of months of use, it is a serial number affected by the recall for the lens mount, I haven’t returned it yet for rework due to workload. Today I took it out to shoot my sons rugby match and found it wasn’t working, upon closer inspection I found this! It has lived most of its life so far inside a big camera bag fitted with the FTZII and the 24-70mm f2.8E ED VR with the lens cap on.
Birna Rørslett:
The camera with lens has pointed towards the sun for some time :( The shutter shield tiles hence are partly melted or fused together.

that is certainly what it looks like, but I cannot see how this is possible, with the way I use the camera, anyway, I expect it is going to be expensive.
Akira:
Sorry about the mishap. I didn't know that this protection shutter curtain was made of plastic...
Snoogly:
Ouch. If it is indeed sun damage, is it likely to be regarded as self-inflicted by Nikon support/service?
