NIKON D70 i HAVE A NIKON D70 AND IT SEAMS THAT ALL MY PHOTOS ARE REALY GRAINY. I CANT FIGURE OUT WHY. PLEASE HELP

Nikon D70 is an old camera if you put a new CF in it - it may not work. CompactFlash© (CF) (Type I/II, compliant with UDMA) MicroDrive. So it works with Type I and Type II

Do you see coherent photos in the camera's rear display when the CF card is still in the camera?

Check the manual for instructions on how to set it for the maximum number of megapixels and the best picture quality. If it has shake control, be sure you have it on. Set the camera to "auto" everything until you become more familiar with it.

Possible failure of the display unit of the camera is the picture taken is sowing good image after downloading on the PC.
If so the panel must be taken out and checked for voltage on the pad, the flexible strip that connects the display also can be faulty.
You will need to have some experience to open and probe into the display unit.

Sccording to my D70 manual:
"CHA"= this card cannot be used. try Nikon approved card,, Try reformatting card in camera, not PC, clean card contacts in camera using camel hair brush and blower.

You might also use a small pen and press the hardware rest buttin in bottom of camera (page 200 in manual)

Set the ISO to "auto ISO".

did you try you shooting mode button and then rotate your command dial until the remote shows up on you screen.works for me!

Hi,
Firstly check the ISO setting isnt up high, this will introduce more noise than a lower setting.

A reset may help press and hold the +/- and AF buttons for more than 2 seconds (page 44 of the manual)

else there is a full reset button just below the USB port (page 129 of the manual)
you can download the manual from ftp://ftp.nikon-euro.com/Manuals/ppY_QFonPh/D80-En_05.pdf or

Unlikely but possible, depends what you mean by grainy, check the sensor hasnt a fine coating of dust, not on a nikon but I had a kind of grainy effect after photographing in a print works where they used a very fine dust, I foolishly changed lenses and was left with a fine dust coating on the sensor which gave a speckled/grainy effect...

best of luck

Unfortunately, you may have a faulty flash pcb (printed circuit board) The part is around 50$ plus installation 200+ total repair cost. A work around would be to use an external flash unit from the hot shoe
