Question about Nikon D70s Digital Camera

1 Answer

Top half of my pictures are darker.....Nikon D70..

This just started the other day. When I take pictures, the top half of the picture looks like it has a shadow straight across the screen.

I reformatted the card, but still have the same issue...Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, Scott

First clarifying question: Does the same thing happen with different lenses? If so, the problem is in the camera. If not, the problem is in the lens. A camera store will let you try different lenses if you only have one yourself.

Have you tried to clean the sensor? Perhaps it has become dirty?

Have you tried importing the pictures directly on a different computer? Maybe it's something in the transfer between camera and computer.

I'm not aware of any in-camera digital effects that would cause this, but I recommend doing a complete camera reset using the on-board menu. Start from factory-fresh and see if it still happens.

When i took a picture with my nikon d70 the the outcome is quite bright where to adjust. i'm a beginner
1. You could lower the ISO setting. 2. You could lower the "exposure compensation" setting. It's the button that's half-black/half-white with a plus and minus. There are many other ways but you really should carefully read your instruction manual and experiment.

Hi, allow me to suggest using another lens to see if you still see the dark patches in the top corners. If not it is the lens, if so it is the camera. Either way it sounds as though something is maladjusted. Call Nikon digital 1-800-645-6689.

The "For" message means you need to format the memory card.

Copy anything you don't want to lose off of the card.

Locate the LCD Illuminator Button (next to LCD on top) and the Shooting Mode button (next to Brackting button (BKT) on back). Next to both of these button should be the word "format".

Simultaneously press and hold both buttons for two seconds. The card will format. Once done, the LCD will display the number of pictures available to be taken on the card.

My Flash stop working, do i need to replace it? The built-in flash does not stay up. I can hear the clicking sound when it wants to pop up, but it stays in place. At this point it's pretty easy to open it...
I just checked my service info and do not have a good picture of the top cover. The top is sold as a unit by Nikon. An independent repairman may be able to repair the top if there is no damage. A work around would be to use an external flash. It would not have to be a Nikon brand, but you would have to set speeds and aperture manually to get proper exposures. Replacing to top cover would be more than 100$

Nikon D70 flash doenot fire
According to my information, the camera may need a new flash PCB (printed circuit board). Check the repair service search on this site for someone in your area. The part number for the circuit board is: 1S014-020-1 and runs about 50$

I don't think there is really any such thing as a 100% "natural picture". What your eyes see and what film or a sensor "see" are not the same. All photos are manipulated to some degree whether it be from the type of film or the digital "modes" you use. If you would have shot with a film such as Velvia, the greens may have been more "stellar" or maybe too green. There are a number of settings you can use to get the results more to your liking with a D70, or shoot NEF and post process to your liking. Your exposure will make a difference so you may want to bracket.
