Hello
Wondered if anyone can throw a light on what's happened to my trusty DP1. I have had this camera for about 16 months, used it every day. Super camera.
However yesterday when out shooting I noticed the auto-focus was slowing down, with it seemingly hard to focus (showing the red flashing warning rectangle). Eventually it would focus OK, But shortly after the whole camera just failed. Completely rock solid dead. Lens was out and couldn't switch it off.
This happened just once before many months ago and a little joggling of the lens freed it up. But this time nothing would shift it.
Got back home and tried two other charged batteries in it. No joy.
I then put the batteries in my second DP1 (the 's' model) and they were flat. So it seems that the DP1 is shorting the batteries out?
Has anyone else had this problem and is is solvable? Or do I have a piece of scrap camera now?
Many thanks.
Barry.
ps. I would try a PSU in the adaptor socket if I could be sure of the voltage required. Any ideas?
