Nikon D70: Screw stripped - Replacing the CF Reader

Thu, 04 Jan 2024 07:29:47 -0700

One of the side screws is stripped. Is there anything I can do to get it out?

I am thinking of grabbing some tacky glue or something to make it easy to unscrew ( fill the void that was created ). I am open to suggestions and help.

Hi!

I have a Nikon D70. Not using the model since the display lcd size is too small to review the images taken.

Is there any way to change the display size or will any other Nikon body fits the D70 body?

Nikon D70: Pictures are unfocused unless flash in activated

Mon, 28 Dec 2020 10:13:40 -0700

My Nikon D70 camera will only produce in-focus pictures when the flash is enabled. When the flash isn’t enabled the pictures tend to be unfocused and much darker than the scene being photographed. This is especially the case indoors. Any advice on how to fix this issue is greatly appreciated! Perhaps replacing/cleaning components? Firmware update? Setting modification?

When I take a photo, all appears normal, however, the photo is not put on the SD memory card. I have swapped out to numerous cards of various sizes (i.e. 4GB, 16GB, etc) and still no success.

I sent my Nikkon to Nikkon and the parts are obsolete. Do you possibly have spare parts for this camera. If so can I send it to you for repair?

The release button just broke off. still have the button part and the little spring, but would like to replace that part if possible. Do I really need to disassemble the whole camera to do this? And where could I possibly find the right part for this replacement?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Nikon D70: Why can I not change the focus/exposure area of any of my kit lenses?

Sun, 22 Oct 2017 16:04:08 -0700

I just recently have been unable to change the focus/exposure area on my D70. I have tried changing lenses and the same problem is present on both - I cannot move the selected auto focus area brackets with the Auto Focus Area Direction pad. I have tried rebooting the camera, changing lenses. The pad does function properly when navigating the menu.

Is there anything simple I can do to regain functionality of the pad?

Thanks for any and all help.

Nikon D70: Occasional problems reading or writing to the memory card.

Tue, 15 Aug 2017 08:49:45 -0700

Occasionally, my D70 will give a "CHR" or Format in place of the number of pictures left to be taken. sometimes reinserting the memory card will fix it. Sometimes, after taking several pictures, it will give this message and the pictures will be lost. Often it is when I am shooting outside or the temperature has changed.

Is there a fix? Will a cleaning of the pins resolve my issue?
