Need help to unlock the AF-Point

This is a newbie question and need help for my 1 day old D70. While experimenting with the various settings, I realized that I have accidentally locked the AF Point at the right hand side of the viewfinder. Tried to get help from the manual on how to unlock it but can?t seems to find the right page. Other things I tried are, power-off and on the camera, switch from spot focus to dynamic focus but none of them help. Please help.

Below the thumb pad there is a lock switch. Make sure it's in the upper position then tap the shutter button. You should now be able to select your focus point. When in doubt press and hold the "BKT" and the "Meter" buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. Both buttons have a green dot next to them. This will reset your camera to default settings.

I have Nikon af s 300mm f2.8, it only work with D3s, D300s but not with my D70. Can you tell me why and is it lens problem or camera
Hiyour lens should be af-s 300/2.8 vr.. nikon product are all compatible. which means your d70 something wrong I think. If you have bundle lens with d70, you can check it out easy. usually d70 comes with af-s 18-55 which is pretty much same work method with af-s 300. THanks and best regard!

How to get several focus points in a d7000 viewfinder?
Hi, On the D7000 you need to press the button on the side of the camera that's in the middle of the AF/M switch and then you use to switch to decide whether it's in 1 point autofocus (hence forth called AF), 9 point dynamic area AF, 21 point dynamic area AF, 39 point dynamic area AF, 3D tracking AF or auto area AF. If you need more help with switching AF modes let me know and I can help you out =)

Is it worth selling mu 5 year old D70 camera (in good working condition) and buying this model?
I would say no. Why bother to sell one old discontinued camera just to buy another discontinued one? The D60 adds very little in the way of new features to the D70 (automatic sensor cleaning may be the most major one) and removes one very important capability (the ability to autofocus with non-AF-S lenses). If size and weight are a major consideration, then the D60 is smaller and lighter than the D70. But so are the newer D3100 and D5000.

No, I really can't recommend moving up to a D60. Nor can I really recommend a D3100 or D5000. Bear in mind that the D70 is a midrange DSLR. The D60, D3100, and D5000 are entry-level DSLRs, more suited to photographers with no experience in DSLRs. If you really must move up, I'd suggest the D90 or perhaps the D7000 (not the D700). But if the D70 is still working for you, you may not need to move up at all.

I have a Nikon 70-300mm 1:4-5.6G lense that has not been dropped and shows no signs of damage. It is probably 4 years old. Last week it stopped auto-focusing and when attached to my Nikon D70 the LCD...
Make sure the lens aperture is manually set to the smallest setting. (i.e. the highest 'f' number).

I can get my 50mm lens to work with my d70 nikon.
If the lens has an aperture ring, make sure it is set on the largest f number. Make sure the lens is mounted fully on camera. Oherwise an AF 50mmm f1.8 lens should work on a D70 with no problem

Re: poor focus problem
usandy,
You can set the focal point by toggling the menu switch (you can see it moving around into different locations as it "wraps" around the viewfinder, now depending on your f-stop the area that is not in focus will be soft, you can also experiment with the autofocus lock on you subject and evn try amnually focusing on your subjects.

It wont focus or take pictue
Hey harleymomma,
If the d70 is set to AF-S mode focus has to be achieved for the shutter to be allowed to take the photo. In some exposure modes the aperture must be locked down on the smallest aperture. I would also make sure the contacts are clean that allow communication between the body and the lens. Of course you need to make sure the body and the lens are set to autofocus. If none of this works I would have it looked at by an authorized service technician. I hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Allan
Go Ahead. Use Us.

Pixpro AZ528 brand new doesn't turn on Yesterday I bought a Kodak Pixpro AZ528, got it home put together, and it wouldn't turn on. When plugged into the wall the screen said battery 100%. The charging indicator then went off. Unplugged from wall, still wouldn't turn on. Returned and got a different of the same camera, and it's doing the exact same thing. I've tried resetting while plugged into the charger, holding power button 20 seconds (as suggested somewhere else) to no avail. Seems weird that two of the same brand new cameras wouldn't work. Any suggestions?

Pentax IqZoom 700 film camera E9 error shutter failure Hi, I have a pentax iqzoom 700 that I'd like to repair myself but E9 appears on the lcd screen after inserting a new battery and powering on. Other posts mention this is a shutter failure. When turning on, the zoom lens extends and the outer shutter covering the outside of the lens opens. I've read tutorials that say you can sometimes fix a shutter error by causing a power outage during a shot and opening the battery door while taking a picture, but this isn't possible in my case because no shot is fired when the shutter is pressed, likely because the camera recognizes the shutter failure. I've also watched videos on how to repair leaf shutters and mechanical shutters, but the manual for this camera states the shutter is an AE between-the-lens shutter so I have no idea how to disassemble and fix this sort of thing. Looking thru the lens both thru the front of the camera and in the film compartment on the other side show a dark covering behind the lens even while the outer shutter is open covering the outer lens, which I'm assuming is the between-the-lens shutter. Ideally, I'd like to repair this myself, as there's nothing lost if I screw up and it's not worth it otherwise to take it for repair. I'm a complete novice with absolutely no prior knowledge of taking apart things, but I can follow directions so any suggestions or links to videos/tutorials would be very much appreciated Side note that I've searched the web extensively and have yet to find anything specific to repairing this camera model, and I'm not knowledgeable enough to adapt a tutorial for a different camera to this model Thanks in advance!
