Not only has your camera mis behaved, I have only just spotted this thread. I look in numerous times a day, this thread wasn't visible, I responded yesterday on another thread. Not only that but Grahams new post with the starlings waiting for breakfast this morning was below this post with a new post marker but this thread had no marker??? Bloody digital stuff, we need analogue computers, might be more reliable, a big heavy diesel engined computer throbbing away in my bedroom!!!
Anyway, sorry to hear of your issue Eric, I too have had similar with the D3, the intervalometer refused to work. I was tearing my hair out with frustration high on a mountain on Skye, 2am and trying to take a star trails sequence. It turned out the clock had zeroed itself. It had restarted but the intervalometer won't work until the clock has been set to correct time, or any time I suppose but it HAS to have been set, not just started from default time, before the intervalometer will function.
Some of the presets I use had reverted to default settings. I think some of the settings are in a different section of memory because they had survived. I assume the clock battery had had a silly moment, I haven't replaced it, the time is still correct, well apart from still being on BST, not GMT... Need to take the daylight saving off.
It's entirely possible it was caused by swapping the lens without turning the camera off. With the complexity of the PF lenses I suggest you try to remember to turn the camera off before switching lenses else the lens might misbehave.
BTW, does the PF lens remember the stored focus point even after being dismounted from the camera?
