Nikon D5100 problem
Feb 16, 2018 14:38:56 #
When I take a picture the back screen and image on the card are both diagonally black from the upper right corner to the bottom left corner. 16,000 shutter activations which seems low for a problem that might require shutter replacement. Any suggestions other than a hammer? Thanks! Not sure how to look for your reply...new ti UHH.

What? At only 16k? Yikes, a good friend on mine has the same model camera! Actually it does not even sound like a shutter issue unless the curtain itself broke loose on one edge. Does it do this with all lenses? Stuck iris / aperture blade? Dead pixels should be in rows or columns I believe, not diagonals. Something large get in side mirror / shutter box? Seems really weird. Good luck!

Take off the lens and carefully lift the mirror to reveal the shutter itself. Is a blade out of place? Can you see part of the sensor? Yes, you likely have a shutter failure.

I'm going with do a visual check. Remove the lens and set the camera to lock mirror up if that is an option. See if anything is blocking the sensor or hanging down.
Good luck.
Good luck.
