20 Most Recent Nikon D50 Digital Camera - Page 6 Questions & Answers

hello. Turn the camera on and go into the menu. Find reset and reset it which will put all of the settings back to where they were when it came from the factory. Joe

camera card reader is defective,see for the conections with the mother board are good,if not do replace the card reader.

You will probably need to send it in for repairs. There are fuses on the main board but those are definitly not for users to replace. If you remove the lens and the battery and let it sit for a few days then plug back in that may reset it but don't count on it. Hopefully you can get this fixed under warrenty (check store and nikons) but you may need to pay for it. Should be about $100 if the problem is fuses etc. Go to Nikons site go to support and find the repair depot nearest you and give them a call and you should be taking pics fairly quickly again.

Hello

Thank you for using FixYa for your problem

Always check the batteries first but if is it still giving the same fault, your camera is faulty.
It should be taken to an authorized repair centre for a repair estimate. Very few digital cameras have any user-serviceable parts.

This can be caused by a badly connecting memory card, take it out and ensure its clean and connecting properly, also happens in cold climates, ensure the battery is fully charged. This is a comon problem with the D50

Press up/down on the multiselector to cycle through different views of the image.

What lens? Either you have a non-CPU lens which requires that you use it in Manual (M) mode, or it's a CPU lens and the contacts aren't engaged properly. Remove the lens, clean the contacts, reattach the lens, and jiggle it a little to seat the contacts.

Jiggle the lens to make sure the contacts are seated. If that doesn't do it, try removing the lens and cleaning the contacts.

Did you remove the strobe with either the camera or the strobe turned on?

The r07 is not an error. It's simply telling you how many more shots you could take in burst mode before the buffer fills up.

Is this when you're reviewing pictures? If so, it sounds like a histogram. Simply press up/down on the multiselector until you find a view you like.

The D50 doesn't shoot video. It also doesn't have a Live View mode so you can't preview pictures on the screen. The screen is used for menus and image review.

Most likely this is an internal problem with the CCD. Depending on age of the camera I highly recommend you send it in for service. Follow this link to start the process through nikon.

Yes, though if it's not a D or G type lens you may not have any metering capability.

Are these flash photos? If so, make sure you don't have the lens hood on. Also make sure the shutter speed is slower than the sync speed.

Otherwise, is this happening at a variety of shutter speeds? With fresh batteries?

Ok

Its not clear how you are using the camera.
Check the settings on the left. Some settings (Landscape for example will not allow the use of flash)
Set the camera to P,S,A OR M and it will. In Auto it will pop up if it needs it. It It still won't work Look at the menu settings for Flash Mode two settings 1) TTL and the other Manual. I have my D50 set to TTL using the built in flash and manual when using an external flash mounted in the shoe.

Hope this helps

go to walmart or best buy and they fix it *******

Anything is fixable but it is more "is it cost effective"
