20 Most Recent Nikon D1X Digital Camera - Page 2 Questions & Answers

There's a number of things this could be.
I'm not a tech nerd, but I do know alot about certain things.
The few things that come to mind would be that somehow your camera is recording at a higher quality than it was before, using yup more space for each picture.

Also what comes to mind would be a similar situation. If you take a photo with alot of information (i.e. Leaves in the fall, with alot of diff. colors) it will take up more space than a plain picture (i.e. a picture of a wall with nothing on it) which again would cause you to run out of room faster.

The last and most likely cause for this would be that your memory needs to be formatted. With all kinds of technology storage, tiny bits of information are stored automatically onto the memory device. This takes up space, usually just a few bytes, but If you don't format very often, then it all could maybe add up. Formatting it might get rid of those unneeded bytes of info and just maybe clear up more space. usually most cameras have a format function in the menu, or you might be able to do it by plugging into the computer. Tell me if this helps :)

Hello

The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel after dropping it. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.

Use these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.

Firstly , try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.

Try holding the shutter button while switching on the camera.

Look at the lens , and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).

Try gently pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.

Another way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the camera is enough to get things going again.

Try hitting your camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of your hand.

Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair center for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to replace the camera.

If it is still under warranty I would suggest you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.

Hope the advise is useful.

Use a card reader and attach it to your computer, delete all files (hidden and visible) and then format the card in your camera.

Unfortunately, you probably need to take it in to an authorized dealer. If you try to fix it yourself you might void the warranty etc..:( Sounds like some minor mechanical part needs to be replaced:)) Nothing you can really do without the right gear!!! and parts

Did you bring it into a warm environment and expose every square inch to condensation?

Having gone over a month without a response, I assume this is no longer a problem.

take out all those things you inserted and take the battery out. and start from the beginning...

Go into the menu and scroll to "reset". Or, remove the card and battery, press all the buttons, leave it alone for 20 minutes, insert the card and then the battery, turn it on.

2Gig max limit on memory cards for D1X

The blinking FEE message means the aperture ring is not set to minimum aperture (highest number). Turn the aperture ring to the highest number, and then find the aperture lock -- either a little slider or a button you press and turn. That will keep it from accidentally changing again.

FL means that the full amount of space on the card is available...it doesn't give you an amount like say the d70 which says you have , say, 1.1K available of space...the d21x goes in reverse and starts counting how many pics you have taken...the FL becomes a number at 99 and goes down from there depending on how many pics you take.So you then end up with a number on top instead of FL and a number below indicating how many pics you have taken.

Hope this helps.

on the nikon support page it gives step by step instructions on how to fix this problem I had that same problem with the Nikon D1, Nikon D1h Nikonusa.com

You are correct, there is a setting. Press Monitor, then Menu to get to the menu; go to the thitd menu option (looks like a pencil), select option 4 (AF Activation) and set it to ON (Shutter/AF ON). This will solve your problem.

Here you go!

more likely a loose connection on the back side (internal) connections on the battery contacts

hi,

i suggest you upgrade your firmware for your camera. this usually resolves some issues regarding some firmware bugs.

this is the site. its a whole lot more because you can even find downloads ad stuff here.

I would check to see if you have set the exposure compensation and/or flash compensation to a high setting and forgot to put it back to zero.
Good luck.

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 ..
