Atik 314L+ Issue! Is it dead?
Hi All
I seem to have developed a problem with my Atik 314L+. I suspect my camera is now dead, but if anyone has a suggestion, I would really appreciate it.
The camera is about 5 years old (I think). It has worked fine, but due to the weather, I haven't used it for about 5 months. The last 2 nights on the Gold Coast have been beautiful and clear, so I thought I would get the gear out.
However, the Atik will only take 3 or 4 shots that are fine, then all goes black. I can turn the camera off and back on then get another 2 or 3 shots. But the exposures cannot be any longer than 10 seconds. If they are, I just get a black image.
I have attached three samples. A 2 second, a 5 second, then a 20 second exposure.
A camera that can only make three exposures of less than 10 seconds before requiring a reboot is a bit pointless.
I have upgraded all my software (not that this should matter). I have left the temperature settings turned off.
Other than buy a new camera, which is what I think I will have to do, does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks
Darrell
