Nope.:-) Its done this from day one, just never got around to sending it in. I try not to use the pop up anyway. Better results from the Sigma The Nikon D1 had a black screen even whan an older battery showed full or 2/3 etc. Turns out its a voltage thing. Just enough drop in an older battery tohinder the shot. Solution is to get a new battery and all is well again. Could be the same thing on my istD, not quite as full battery as shown and its hindering the production of the shot. However my daughters istD seems ok.
