Its probably not the chips that is defective Jim.. these camcorders use those really small pana caps there called and they leak and go bad and sometimes NO NO most of the time cause the PCB to oxide and melts the pcb traces. If when you try to unsolder these surface mounted caps your gonna get a really acid type smaell thats bad smelling and bad for you too. if thats the case its bad. Good luck and please report back if you want more info.

Cannot see metering in optical viewfinder

Please, what metering can you not see? The view finder has numerous items to view. If you cannot see anything is the camera turned on, is the battery charged? Next are you referring to the LCD on the camera back. If yes, please go to the Custom Settings Menu number 06, is it off? That is found on page 88 of the D80 manual. If none of that works get back with us with more information or contact Nikon.

Cannot fire shutter on d80

Hi, Have you cleaned the lens' electrical contacts?or is the lens connected loosely?? Examine but probably little need to clean the camera's electric contacts considering its' young age. Do you have access to another AF body on which you can test the lens and another AF lens to test the D80? Do the following things 1.take a dust free eraser and clean the contacts on the camera carefully by keeping it upside down to prevent dust going inside. 2.do the same for lens contacts. re-attach the lens firmly. hope this solves your probs. regards sreejith

D80 Monitor does not function as view finder.

To be able to do what you want, your camera would have to have a feature called "live view"....yours does not.

D80 Digital Camera with 18-135mm Lens: My nikon d80 will not auto focus when I push the s...

The r11 is in the lower right of the top LCD or view finder that is in the D80 manual page 36 it speaks about the buffer. The r with a number is how many shots the buffer at that moment can handle. It is not an error message. For auto focus issue is the lens in AF as well as the camera?

Err message appears on the display of my D80.

This may be due to the aperture ring in your lens. Try the following:

1. Turn off your camera
2. Move the aperture ring clockwise then lock
3. Turn on your camera and try again.

If this does not work, do the same thing again but turn the aperture ring counter-clockwise.

When the big LCD is black the view finder will turn on, right?

No picture

Hi your flexcable between the LCD and camera mainboard is cracked or broken. It must be replaced. We can deliver you a new one if you can relace it by yourself. If not ask an Samsung repaircenter

Nikon D80-picture blurry in auto mode

jbenjack,
The D80 has a lot more settings to deal with and depending on the lens the depth of field may explain the blurry background (that is desired effect on a portrait) The view finder on the D80 is for composing the shot and has read outs for the settings. The LCD on the back is for playback and the menus, it doesn't work like a live view of what's being taken (on some newer and more expensive DSLRs it does preview on the big LCD) on smaller point & Shoot cameras that don't have a viewfinder they use the LCD as the viewfinder, does that make sense? If she has the manual you may want to faniliarize yourself with some of the features, start out on one at a time for the different modes so they make more sense, you can really appriciate the camera after that and respect what pro photographers do. The D80 is not a cheap camera and I personally know a couple of professionals that use it among their cameras. (lots of different lenses that cost many time more than the camera body) Have fun with it, and if you get into it you will find you can take some fantastic photos with it. Can you tell that I like that camera?

LCD on - view image prior to taking photo

The feature you are referring to is called "Live View mode".

This is NOT available on the Nikon D80, and was only introduced on the D90, which is available now.

Live View mode allows you to use the LCD screen as your view finder instead of using the eyepiece, but unfortunately, this feature is not available in your model.

Faulty lens renders auto features kaput on D80

This is a common known problem with the 18-135mm Kit lenses that come with the D80's, and D90's for that matter.

All you need to do is rotate the lens ever so slightly to make the connection, and you may need to turn off the camera and turn it back on. This solves the problem for about 90% of my clients.
