Hi,

The live view change lever has broken on my camera. I have obtained a replacement but need to remove the command wheel to fit it. I would like to know if it can be just prised off, or do I need to remove the casing to access it.

Any help and advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers Steve

I can see through the viewfinder but the "live" view using the monitor shows data, e.g., auto, flash, iso, etc with a red outlined square in the center.

Nikon D5300: Why is my SD card not detected? RESOLVED

Thu, 14 Dec 2023 20:11:34 -0700

I re-inserted my SD card into my camera (after editing on my laptop). Now the camera says no SD card detected. I already went through Nikon's trouble-shooting web pages.

The door became loose over time. The SD card needs more pressure to make full contact. I added small bits of paper on the door, so when it closes, there's more pressure. It works now. But will it loosen more over time? Time to plan for a Z9.
