Thanks Don, John and, possibly Cotty,<g> for the replies so far.
Believe it or not, and this has never happened before, I got through to the
Nikon
Assistant Service
Manager first try.
WooHoo.:-)
Spent a few minutes on the phone describing the situation, and he said it
sounds like they
"May not
have calibrated the new board" after replacement.
I quess spending $4500 on a camera only warrents partial service in Canada.:-)
Hows that eh.
Anyway, they have me penciled in as a rush,as i may be able to get it to them
Tuesday or
Friday.
Because i own a " Nikon Professional Product" i can jump the queue a bit.
So that answers part of the "What's a pro camera question" anyway. <vbg>
