20 Most Recent Nikon D70s Body Only Digital Camera Questions & Answers

the picture is blurry due to lack of focus in the lens.
Im using a fish eye lens. my f\stop is 6.3 shutter is 30.
Im trying to due a virtual tour of my kitchen so its a big picture that i want all in focus. i have tried different settings on my camera but i think im making it worse.

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.

It's problem with memory card. If you have some unsaved photos thry to rescue them with memory card reader and some rescue program. Then format card and thry again. If that dont help, hry to put another memory card and it should be fine. Hope I helped!

try another cf card first. if the trouble is still the same,  there is an internal malfunction in the unit, you need pro fix then.. [:0(

have u tried resetting the camera to factory settings? maybe the software is a bit corrupted.

Take the card out blow the dust out of the card slot make sure all the pictures have been transferred to the computer then format the memory card in the camera it is to be used in.

This is most likely to be a battery problem. Rechargeable batteries don't last forever. Lithium batteries in particular can fail early if they are allowed to become totally discharged.

The best way to check is to buy a new battery, then try to charge it. If it charges and the camera works, problem solved.

If it doesn't charge, then you will need a new charger. The battery will not be wasted though, as it is always handy to have a spare.

You can download a PDF version from the manufacturer's tech support site at http://support.nikontech.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13948 . At least if you're willing to settle for an English-language one. If you want another language, you'll have to search through Nikon's international web site.

There are several possible reasons for this.

A) The lens is what Nikon calls a non-CPU lens, lacking the electrical contacts for things like autofocus and aperture control. With such lenses, you must use the Manual (M) mode. You won't be able to use the camera's light meter, and you have to adjust the aperture by turning the ring on the lens.

B) The lens is a D-type lens, with an aperture ring. You have to turn the aperture ring to its minimum (largest F/number) and lock it.

C) The contacts are dirty or otherwise not engaging properly. Clean the contacts on the back of the lens and on the lens mount. Reattach the lens and jiggle it slightly to try to engage the contacts.

If none of the above apply, then the camera and/or the lens may need service.

I found this answer on the Nikon web site.

3) Camera displays “CHA” in top LCD. The camera has detected an invalid partition type or is not working properly. Reformatting the memory card may allow it to be used. If an approved memory card causes the camera to display the "CHA" indicator contact the memory cards manufacturer for assistance.

Please note that the default disk format used in Windows XP is FAT32 and if a card is formatted with this setting on an XP system, a D1 series camera will report "CHA". Reformat the card as "FAT" to use in the D1 series camera.

Where you insetting batteries the both point clean once and try....

Greetings...

There are a couple of things to look at here...

Your camera settings and your computer file settings...

For the Nikon D70 make sure the file number sequence is set to on...

SET UP MENU (wrench icon)
File Number Sequence: This lets the camera number your images starting at the last shot you made, even if you've formatted your card. I leave this to ON. If you turn this feature off you'll start from 0001.JPG each time...
Are you working on a Mac or PC?
If you are on a PC make sure that the program you are working on is set to sort by name...
If your Nikon was not set to sequence, you will need to rename the files. Nikon has a free program, ViewNX, that will allow you to view, sort and rename image files...
Additionally, on a PC, open Windows Explorer, go to Tools, Folder Options, View, and UN check the 'Hide extension' box...
This allows you to see the naming extension's on you files...
Have a great day....

Some mechanical defects could be there at the shutter assembly unit. Must check before it gets deteriorated.

Is the mounting ring on the camera loose? Check the screws for tightness if you have the proper cross point screwdriver. Adjustment the CCD position screws is the common fix otherwise

Check out the videos. If the battery has swollen you will have to prise it out. https://www.google.com/search?q=release+the+battery+on+Nikon+D40X ..

You can use the Nikon View program that should have been included with the camera. or you download the current versions of Nikon ViewNX or Nikon Capture available free at Nikon Imaging Products Software

Is the camera in airplane or power saving mode?
