REPLAcing the bulb on nikon d70s cameras - Nikon D70s Digital Camera

Joan,

It sounds like the camera and lens are no longer speaking to each other. There may be dust or debri in the contacts between the lens and cam.

First, go to your cleanest, dust free room in your house. remove the lens gently from the camera. There's a button on the left handed side of the camera that gets depressed (not in a sad way) and the lens will turn counter clock wise to be removed.

Use great care to protect the inside of the camera from dust. If you have the cover that came with the camera to keep the lens opeing closed, that would be the thing to use. Otherwise, just use great caution to keep the dust out. If you have compressed air can, gently spray around the the circumference of where the lens connects to the camera.

Then replace the lens carefully. There should be a white dot on the lens and one on the camera to line up the two. Turn the lens until it clicks on. Try the camera. Let me know if this worked for you.

I have not done the replacement yet, but I can tell you where the battery is. It is located underneath the USB/Power connections on the left side of the camera. There are several covers and boards to remove to get to the battery.

Sorry, the D70s records still images only.

You could use flash. Depending on distance, you might want to go with one of Nikon's add on flash units. SB-600 is very cost effective.

You could also buy the excellent f1.8 50mm lens that Nikon makes. It's about $120 new. It's a prime lens (no zoom/telephoto) but it is one of the best lenses Nikon makes. It works very well in low light. There are also some other large aperature lenses, but cost goes up as f goes down!
