Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Nikkor Lens Logo

When my D90 has the 18-200 attached, and it is hanging from my shoulder, the lens elongates of its own accord due to gravity. It did not do that originally. Is something wrong with it? Can an adjustment be made so that it requires physical turning and not just gravity to extend the lens? Thank you for your help.

Short of a complete strip down and rebuild of your lens, there is nothing you can do about this, sorry. If you do choose to get the work done, then labour charges are very high unless the Nikon Authorised Service Centres in your country offer fixed price servicing.

It's either due to general wear or due to a thinning out of the internal lubricant films: it's their initial viscosity which provides just enough hold to keep the zoom ring in position so replacing them will resolve the issue as long as there is not excessive component wear.

On balance (and based upon frequent experience) it's usually just best to learn to live with the fault until you decide to replace the lens.

Testimonial: "Excellent and rapid response. Thank you VERY much!"

How to build height without medicines suggest only exercise

1. VERTICAL HANGING:
This is a simple but an extremely effective stretching exercise which you can do at your home. All you need to have is a solid bar strong enough to hold an individual, fixed at least 7 feet above the ground such that the distance between your feet and the floor is atleast 4-6 inches. Hold your arms neither closer nor wider and start hanging. Hold as long as you can, and as you begin to tire, slowly swing back and forth and try to touch the ground with your feet. This will flex your spine and elongate it, so that you can add few inches to your height
Make sure that you flex your spine while stretching, and not merely twisting your wrists
Perform the Workout 3 times a week for optimal results
2. COBRA STRETCH:
This is basically a Yoga exercise intended to stretch your spine and make it supple and flexible, so that the cartilage between your vertebrae grows thereby increasing your vertical height
Lie on the floor face down with palms on the floor under your shoulders. Begin to arch your spine up leading with your chin. Arch as far back as possible. Do 3-4 repetitions with each repetition lasting between 5-30 seconds
3. PILATES ROLL OVER:
This is an excellent workout to stretch your spine and lengthen your upper body. Apart from your spine, it also stretches and lenghthens the vertebrae of your neck.
Lie on your back with your arms along your sides, palms down. With your legs together, extend them straight up toward the ceiling and bend them backwards so that they touch the floor. It may not be possible to touch the floor at first, but you can do this by practice. The more your stretch, the more your spine lenghthens
4. FORWARD SPINE STRETCH:
Sit up tall on a mat. Your legs are extended about shoulder width apart, and your feet are flexed. Reach the top of your head but let your shoulders stay relaxed. Inhale and extend your arms out in front of you and slowly bend forward and try to touch the tips of your toes. If you are able to touch your toetips, stretch even forward so that your spine is flexed to the maximum extent.
Do 3-4 repetitions and hold each stretch for 10-15 seconds
5. ANKLE WEIGHTS: This exercise is solely intended to increase the length of your lower body, by stretching the cartilate between your knees. Prolonged stretching will elongate the cartilage and increase its mass, which in turn will increase the length your lower body
Sit on a high chair and use a Ankle weight fastener to add weights to your ankle. Start with small weights initially and gradually increase as you go on. Allow your legs to stretch down with the pressure of the weights. Once completed, remove the weights and relax your legs by kicking your legs gently for 5-10 times, and then vigorously for 5-10 times. This will flex your knee cartilate to enable it to grow in length

The blade guard will not raise on its own as i pull the saw down . did it all of a sudden and i found a small screw that may have fallen out somehwere.. i do not see anywhere it would possibly go.. was...

Not knowing what make or model miter saw you have here's how most of them work. There should be a long arm, about half straight and half having a lazy 'S' shape to it going from the base near where the upper head pivots up to the blade guard. It should be attached to the base with a shoulder screw so it is free to pivot. The shoulder screw in the blade guard (it may or may not have a bearing on it) passes through an elongated hole in the lazy 'S" end of the arm. Somewhere about half way down the arm there should be a screw through a bearing or bushing in the upper metal housing that rides on top of the arm. As the head is lowered for a cut the mid-point bearing pushes the arm down and pulls the blade guard up. If any of these three screws fell out, the system won't work.

How do you move the straps for a bigger child

Hi
Undo the popper on the shoulder harness pad. Slide the pad down the length of the shoulder harness strap.
Unhook the metal D ring.
Feed the short length, low down anchor point back in behind the seat fabric. Bring the longer length, higher up anchor point out at the desired height.
Re-attach the D ring. Adjust the harness straps accordingly.
Slide harness pad back up shoulder harness and re-attach popper.

My daughter dropped my camera it was in the case and now y camera is blinking f is my camera messed up or is it the lense?

Hi mom_0809, According to the manual page 132, it says F- - blinks means No lens attached, non-CPU lens attached. Solution is to attach the lens, select mode M. If the camera sustained a violent drop maybe the lens internals became damaged. Remove the lens then put it back on. Turn to page 129 for how to reset the camera. Does the F- - blink with another lens. If so then the camera should go to Nikon for a CLA

I have a 02-442-PRI 11-17-98 Cosco

If you washed the straps, they will need to be replaced. Lock the harness together, to prevent the straps from being twisted. Feed the top part of the harness through the slots that are AT or ABOVE your hangchilds shoulder if the seat is forward facing. IF the seat is for rearfacing, feed the top part of the harness straps through the shoulder slots at or BELOW the child's shoulder. Once each is through, reach down and attach them to the silver plate that hangs from the **** strap adjuster. Once you silde each of the harness straps, then slide the bottom of the through the hole in the cover, then into the base of the seat, folding the top like a triangle makes it easier to get through the tight holes. Repeat on the other side and you are ready to travel! Thanks!
