Nikon D600 Dark Frame not working

This was mentioned some time earlier but there wasn’t a clear answer to the problem, when I take dark frames with my Nikon D600, the frames are actually light frames, I am using the original USB cable and have tried in different computers and I have also updated to the latest version, I have also selected the camera model from the camera setup. I can remember that this was possible on an earlier version, but can’t remember if I was still using my D5000.

Hi Oscar,

As far as I know, taking a frame with the D600 will allways open the shutter. You have to manually cover the camera.

I normally take my darks (I also have a D600), on rainy nights and without any optics. A set of darks will hold at least 6 month, as the camera does not change that much.

Kind regards,
Horia
