Nikon F60 35mm SLR Camera

Nikon F60 Problem...

By Bray - usenet poster


I just bought a new Nikon F60 (same as N60 in the US?) in Canada.  The
camera works well, but I am starting to notice a problem.  When I look
through the view finder, and I make sure the view is lined up with something
that is level (ie. line up the top of the view with the top of a door
frame), I find that the entire view looks crooked, like everything is
leaning to the left.  What the heck is wrong??  I just bought this, and
really don't feel like having to send it away to Nikon for a month.

Take some photos (with different lenses if at all possible)... and examine
them... make sure you're camera and tripod are properly aligned of course... a
lot of viewfinders have distortion, so looking through one to judge may not be
the best idea; even my F5 gives me hell when I do that. If your shots come our
fine, you're fine... if it only comes out bad with a certain lens, it's the
lens. If it all comes out bad, it's your camera, send it in. Make sure your
alignment is 100% spot on though! And also remember that most lenses have
noticeable barrel and pincushion distortion, which can cause straight lines near
the edges of the frame to become concave or convex, depending on how you look at
it.

My F60 is ok!

I've tried something like that and the results were ok.

I notice that I coun'd trust on my tripod because when the bubble of
him is line up, the camera is a little bit twisted.
