Ak! Nikon 8700 Fires by itself!


Maybe someone can gelp me while I await a response from Nikon. My Coolpix 8700 starts firing -- taking picture after picture and I have to turn it off to stop it. I thought maybe I was pushing a button while handling the camera, but no. I went in ans reset all settings to factory, thinking that would help. Now it even does it during playback -- and I'm not touching the camera.
Wha?!!!

  Maybe it's haunted? My other guess would be a short in the shutter.

  Is your camera still taking pics on its own? Mine just started doing it and was wondering if you got yours straightened out. Anywhooo...

Thank you,

  Hi Skinny M,
I had to send it to the shop. It started deleting whole memory cards. Nikon said it was the battery, which I don't understand, since I sent it with out the batt. But OK, just fix it and send it back!
