Re: D200 owners, pls do a test for me (and for yourselves)




A peltier device and filtered cool air circulation would do the trick.
Might help keep the dust out of your camera as well. Serious
telescopes are using cooling systems to fix this exact problem.

I've heard of that...I think it's just too much signal gain at high ISO
settings in dark shots. Lower the ISO to a more appropriate setting.

It's because of heat coming from electronic circuits near the sensor.
Not entirely surprising after an exposure of 3 minutes at ISO 1600.

Oh...so cooling the sensor would fix it, like with an icecube?

But...how do I get the damn icecube inside the camera. I tried putting
it inside the sensor chamber, but then it blocks some of the light. I
shoved one in the battery slot, but then the camera don't work.

I even tried using the blender to chop up the icecube and shove the
little bits into the CF card slot, but still no good.

What am I doing wrong???

:-D
