I am pleased to report that my Nikon D800 is back from the Nikon Service Center in Melville. As I mentioned in an earlier posting, the camera experienced some very sporadic focusing issues during my trip to New Mexico. Since the camera is still under warranty, I sent it to Melville for a full check.

Nikon received my camera on January 24th. My camera was returned to me via UPS Overnight delivery this morning. I was pleased with the turnaround time for this repair.

Nikon performed the following steps on my D800:

1. Adjusted the autofocus operation
2. Checked the "communications" throughout the camera
3. Cleaned the sensor
4. Cleaned and checked all other aspects of the camera

Since the camera is still under warranty, the above services were completed free of charge. Because of the sporadic nature of my autofocus issue, I won't know for a while whether the issue has been fixed. But, if nothing else, at least my camera has been thoroughly cleaned and checked.
