Nikon D50: Why is there a black dot on all my photos?

Thu, 09 May 2024 20:10:30 -0700

There’s a black dot on all photos, I’ve tried cleaning the accessible bit of the lenses but nothing is getting rid of it? I have no idea how to get deeper into the camera either.

Nikon D50: Finding Screen Replacement Part for Repair of Screen

Thu, 09 Aug 2018 08:48:21 -0700

Screen shattered on my D50. Local camera shop sent it off to Nikon who at first said they could repair it, but then returned it without repair, saying replacement screens were no longer available. Where can I find one of these? I Love this camera and hate to lose it over a screen.

Thank you.

Nikon D50: Purple Haze on NIKON DSLR photos

Sat, 20 Oct 2018 18:28:39 -0700

All my pictures have a purple haze covering them. The details of the photo are present but the color is shifted to purple. All the other functions of the camera work. I tried resetting and changed all the obvious settings.

I read somewhere that the sensor was probably the problem and that a cheaper one had been used in the D50 that was subject to humidity. I put the camera under a lamp to possibly dry it out( it was very humid in NJ at the time), and when I took it out it worked normally for a day and then returned to purple.

Local Nikon dealer claims that the camera is obsolete and parts are no longer available.

Nikon D50: I can't seem to get the timer to work

Mon, 07 Nov 2016 09:14:14 -0700

I press the timer button and the shutter button. The red light does not come on. I've pulled the battery and I've taken the lens off and back on that usually works when I have a problem? What am I doing wrong with the timer?

Nikon D50: Why has my camera stopped working?

Fri, 30 Sep 2016 02:02:51 -0700

My Nikon D50 was working fine then stopped taking pictures. I switched to the Manual setting and it appeared to function again but no shots were on my memory card. The Playback feature and Menu turn on but immediately shuts off. The Battery Light is green and flashes when the camera is turned on. I replaced the battery with a fully charged one but no change. There are no error messages on the top screen.
