D700 random triggering

[bespoke images]

Hi

Can anyone help - my d700 (3 months old - 20k shutter count - new) has recently started random shooting - I need to switch off and then it's fine - any suggestions

Sticky shutter button or have you got it gripped.

saw the same thing on my 3rd party grip and 40D
think the switch is dying on the cheapo grip but not had a chance to investigate properly yet

I use a grip - is that it?

Do you leave the grip on when walking and press the button with out knowing your doing it.

I expect you are hitting the grips button. It should have a lock, so try and and see if it still happens.
Failing that, the grip is sending false signals. Is it a genuine grip or 3rd party?

I've done this a few times. I've sold my grip now but I seem to remember it had a lock for the shutter for just this purpose.

It's not a genuine grip - its a replica - it doesnt have a grip but I've kept the grip on with out power and I will see if this works next shoot then we know it's a faulty grip

Thanks

The grip takes power from the camera too, so even without batteries in the actual grip it can still work.
