Nikon d200 sprayed with water

There are innumerable metal parts that can and will corrode. Rinsing salt water and eliminating the effects are not the same thing. Damage to the circuitry from shorts may complicate the problems. if you are looking to solve herd a bag of worms go for it but Nikon is right. Out of curiosity how many projects do you have lying unfinished around your house?

The manual says what f ee means, do you have the manual? Il get the manual now and check.

this flash is not compatible with the d200. i had one and sent it back to sigma, they upgraded the software in the flash for free. now it works in all modes, it needs to be iTTL to work on the nikon d200 the NAd version is not iTTL.

try not using the full auto settings all the time. the auto system has a tendancy to over expose. the camera can over or under judge the lighting and make an improper exposure

Hello, and thanks for using FixYa.

Please if the card contains any important pictures, connect it to a computer and copy them to the computer if they are not backed up. Then put the card in the camera and format the card in the camera, then you can connect it back to the computer, put those pictures in there and then the card back into the camera if that is what you wanted to do.

Note that the camera might not show your pictures, unless they are named the same way as original pictures taken with the camera.

Have you checked for dirt in the camera battery compartment. Take some high powered air spray and blow it clean. See if that fixes it.

To be clear for your Nikon D200 battery,Nikon D200 battery charger and Nikon D200 battery life . You are possiblely find and solve the problem on Internet yourself,such as Nikon D200 charger.

lets start with the basics, try hard reseting it and try again, if that doesnt work then
try upgrading your firmware (if possible on your camera) and if that doesnt work then it may be the lens, but dont forget to spend a few hours trying to find a option for it in the meny

Sigma lenses sometimes need re-chipping for full compatability with certain Nikon camera. They are usually quite good about doing this gratis.
Try the Sigma on another body at the camera shop or at home (preferably and older AF film camera). If it works then its likely just a chip compatibility issue.

It can be repaired, but usually water-damaged cameras are either worthless or VERY expensive to repair. I should expect that yours is destroyed, since Nikon's D200 is not designed to be waterproof, and has many electronic and steel parts which are very susceptible to being destroyed by the infiltration of water. A good camera shop would give you an estimate for no charge. If they tell you that it is beyond repair, you might take it to another shop for a second opinion. Is it possible for you to claim the damage on any insurance? You might check with your insurance agent just to be sure.
