    Well it does effect my pictures a lot. there are black spots on my pictures when I take them and print them out. So about 300$ that is retarded but i guess that is what I get for buying a used camera

  • Crimsonmoon Apr 07, 2008

    Okay I will get everything cleaned. Can i just go to a camera store or even do it myself? I have never Had a camera like this before so all of this is new to me.

  • Crimsonmoon Apr 07, 2008

    Thanks I see a nick on the mirror that shouldnt effect the picture right? Unless there is like a grain of sand or dust somewhere I cant see. Thanks again

Unfortunately, the mirror is part of a larger assembly. Like the D70, the mirror comes with the frame. To replace one, you are probably looking at close to 300$.

That being said, it is unlikely that the scratch will effect photos or performance of the camera

    The black spots are from debris on the sensor. You need to get the CCD sensor cleaned. The mirror only deflects the image so you can see your subject through the view finder. It flips up and is not in the image field when you take a picture.

    There are DIY kits available to do the cleaning yourself. Put a lens or cap on the camera and dust it off with a soft brush before you start in the mirror box area. You don't want any extra dust.debris on or in the camera before you clean the CCD

    a nick in the mirror will not effect your images in any way.

I have a Nikon FE2 and i switched the lense out from a normal lense to a macro lense, when i shot the picture my went black. so i switch the detachable lense back to the normal lense and its still black!

have you tries changing the battery in the camera. if you try to take a photo with a dead battery it will lock the mirror up. If changing the battery doesn't make the mirror release turn the shutter speed dial to "B" and that should release the mirror

PS2 GTA: San Andreas Disk Problems

this shows that your cd is already damaged, the scratches might have hit the critical part. you said that some other cd's of yours have also scratches these are presumably minor scratches. its better if you purchase anew one. a damaged cd with deep scratches can damage the lense of your cd rom if you continously use this it would soon permanently damaged the lens

I think I scratched something inportant....PLEASE HELP ASAP!

Do not worry. The part that is scratched or has some dirt on it is called fresnel lens ( or the focusing screen ) and scratches to this part will NOT effect quality of your pictures ( i.e. you will not see any of the scratches on your results ) . True it is a hassle to have to look through a dirty viewfinder but just ignore it for now and just take pictures.
