Nikon D300 Body Only Digital Camera - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
My D300s is not powering
Try a que tip with rubbing alcohol into the battery compartment of the 300s. Rub the terminals with the moistened que tip gently and look for dirt, dust, debris in the compartment.
Nikon r47 error
Is this preventing you from shooting? Normally the r-number merely indicates how many additional shots you can take in the current burst before the buffer fills. It's strictly informational, and should not disrupt your shooting (until the number drops to zero and the buffer fills, at which time the camera will slow down while it transfers the pictures from the buffer to the memory card).
How to remove battery compartment door
Just open the door, Grab the door between your thumb and index finger, Pull to the side towards the front or the back of the camera, And the door will just pop off ! It has pins that sit inside of the hinge of the body, pull slowly but hold firm, TC
Front focus
He Pete, My Nikon, also has front focus. But most DSLRs have more or less front or back focus. Thats why you can correct this. The setup menu has an option called AF fine tune. (second last line)
If you are not familiar with this (I guess that is the reason you asked this question) you can look on lots of internet pages, where they explain how to check and how to correct this.
I'll add one link for you, but there are many more. Some sites also offer the possibility to print a correction card. Some magazines, sometimes add cards as a service. But that could be just luck when you get one.
Focus Testing In the (English) manual of your camera you can find how to fine-tune your camera on page 327.
Success.
D300 pop up flash button broken
Do you mean that the flash won't pop up? The usual cause is either impact to the flash unit or sticky liquid spillage on the flash causing it to stick down. Unfortunately Nikon stopped selling parts on July 13th so unless you can find parts on Ebay you will need to send the camera to Nikon to repair an impact problem. If the flash button is stuck it may be broken.
Self timer on nikon d300
on the top of the camera, there is a dial which says QUAL, WB and ISO. Look for button and ring just below this. It should say S, CL, CH, Lv, a clock and Mup. Press the button to release the ring and rotate it to the clock icon to activate self timer

I am a Spanish amateur photographer and I repaired my Nikon D300 with the same fault. In my blog there is a tutorial. In Spanish, but you can translate it with Google.

Good luck
I have a Sigma 70-300mm
You didn't specify which Sigma 70-300mm lens (Sigma has at least five different versions, and I'm not referring to the lens mount), but from the error message I assume the lens has an aperture ring. Turn the aperture ring to its smallest setting (largest f/number) and lock it in place. Control the aperture from the camera, the same way as on a lens without an aperture ring.
If the lens doesn't have an aperture ring, please reply to this post specifying the exact model of the lens. That's all of the numbers and letters around the 70-300mm, like AF, DGO, f/4.5, etc.

Dropped my camera. On camera flash is not
hi there,
so sorry to hear that your camera was dropped,
well, have you checked all of the body? is there any crack on it?
if the body still OK, you can claim the warranty to your local Nikon service center,
they will fix the connector between body n built-in flash
if the warranty is expired, it will cost about US$ 100 for the service fee, exclude spareparts exhange
hope this reply will help
Can not turn on after insert a new charged
Please make sure that you're using fully charged battery
Remove the battery, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds and then reinsert the battery..
Try using a different battery to check whether the issue is with the battery..
You may also check the battery poles using a multimeter to confirm this if you do not have access to a different battery..
If the issue persists, service may be required.
Thanks for understanding.
My nikon d3000 is great.
This flashing is often an indication that those areas are 'over exposed'. This could be because you have manual settings such as 'EV +1'etc., or 'spot metering' when you took the picture centred on a dark part of the scene. You could check this by setting the camera to automatic to see if it solves the problem. If it does, have a good look through the menus and user guide to see what the various manual settings are.
The flash settings include one where the flash is off, and there is usually a button to toggle between the automatic/off/forced flash/red eye suppression etc.
