Hi Guys,

 

I have a fairly old Nikon D50 (from 2007 I believe). 

It started two days ago with some small details like the balls on the christmas tree.

 

But it's getting worse and worse

Anyone else had this problem? Is this fixable?

 

Thanks!

What I see are hot spots — specular highlights — and, 

trying to recover them, weird things were generated.

 

Did you shoot jpg or RAW?

Hi,

 

jpg, with a 18-55 lens.

I just factory resetet camera, formatted SD card, also tried another one. So far the same thing happens :/

I'm gonna try a different lens tomorrow and see what that gives

 

Any other suggestions?

Lens isn't going to make a difference. Shoot raw and see what they look like in Capture NX-D.

For sure, the lens has nothing to do in the equation, nor the card,

nor the camera… but your approach, your understanding and your

setup.

May I suggest you 
shoot RAW and get familiar with the very precious
histogram… your best friend ever!

Hi, 

 

I am not the best photographer, that's for sure, but it's not my approach or setup.

I tested it, shooted RAW, JPG, shooted on Autamatic mode, less or more ISO etc etc, result is the same.

 

I've been shooting pics with this camera for more than 10 years, this has never happened. Now all of a sudden 50% of my pictures are like this.

 

Here's some more pictures of my tests (RAW and JPG)

I did not want to sound rude in any way, Lloyd, but I don't
believe it is the gear.

A gear, chip defect would appear always at the same place.

Your problem appears always in the same conditions: high-
lights.

Tomorrow i'm gonna take some outside pictures with lots of light and see what happens

 

Thanks for your help everyone!

Hi Guys,

 

So, I put in a different SD card and took a lot of pictures on NYE. The pink parts never occurd again.

 

Conlusion:

  • Problem: Bad SD card, maybe a bad cluster or something.
  • Solution: New SD card ;-)

 

Thanks for your efforts to help me.
