nikon d5100 sensor not working
Jun 10, 2015 09:52:13 #
I was on a trip at Israel, take about 100 photos a days, to save power I do not open the display. I will check every hour to make sure it is fine.
One day when I check it is all dark. (about 30 shoots have this problem)
I turn off the camera, take the battery out rest and power on again, no luck, change to use display mode, also no image. I let it rest for few minutes then power up, then it show the image again, then I do some normal stuff and it is back to normal.
My question is, would the temperature like 30C would cause problem to this or not and did anyone see this problem before.
any suggestion help.

High temps may cause failure of many electrical components. Look in your manual for the recommended operating temperature, you may find that 30C is higher than recommended and continued operation at that temp could cause permanent failures.

30c is about 86f, according to the spec it is max 104f that is 40C, this spec I guess is base on temperature around the camera but not the internal.
I can feel the body is warm.

My Pentax K-30 puts camera temperature into the EXIF. Do Nikons do that also?

no they are not, those 30 are lost all dark, but I am lucky since I check every 1/2 hrs.
the battery can not last 12 hrs if I turn the screen on.
also I find that if I want to take raw on the trip like this 64g sd card is something that I need to get next time (base on 200 shot/day), and sound like to shoot in raw+jpg normal large not a bad idea. at least I can use anything to view them anytime.

Any electronics, including a digital camera, generates its own internal heat. Heat is the enemy of cameras, film but also digital. I have always felt that Canon did us a great disfavor by introducing the heat-trapping black "stealth" camera in the form of the T-90. I really wish other manufacturers would reject that model, but we need to do what we can to protect our cameras from heat.I don't see that.

Could you attach a picture taken just before everything went black ( and check "store original" )I don't see that.

I don't think heat is the problem. I've been out shooting in the 90's (temperature, not decade), and everything worked fine. In China, it was over 100°F, but I was using a Canon ELF film camera.
So 30 pictures do not display at all? And you can't transfer them to a computer? You'll have to do some controlled testing and see if this happens only when the temp is around 30°C. You'll have to determine if it's the sensor or the LCD causing the problem. Leave the LCD turned on as you shoot, and get another battery.

I think your conversion is wrong? You forgot the "add 32" in the formula. 30C=118F.

Fomula: (9/5 x C) + 32 = F
