Overheated card in my D7000

[DianaGuru]

Whilst on a trip to Cuba last year I was videoing and my camera overheated and stopped reading either of my cards. It stopped completly. After it cooled down the card in slot one was unreadable, haven't been able to recover anything on the card it is a scandisk 10, so should be good quality. Was filming for about 10 minutes. Was filming again yesterday only for a few minutes and felt the area around the battery hand grip warm up considerably. Anyone else haveing this kind of issues? Any sugestions?

Hey Diana,

I also have the D7000. During my times of shooting, I have not used the video setting of it that much. I have mainly just took pictures with it. The closest I got was doing continuous shooting while at a show, and I never felt the card area get warm. You may just have a faulty body, and may have to take it in to have them look at it. I'm sorry I'm not any further assistance with this matter.

I wonder if it is actually the battery grip it self that is the issue?
Maybe remove this and try doing some recording and see whether the card gets hot then.

If not it could either be the grip itself, or maybe an issue with a battery inside of it.

You would be best off trying to narrow down the issue if you can before you consider taking in anywhere for repairs. Good luck, hope it isn't the camera, love my D7000.

PS..
Have a check of your camera's firmware and make sure you're running the latest version from NIkon's website. if you go to their "support" section it provides you downloads for this if you need it.

Diana, I'm no expert but maybe worth changing or trying another battery
