F--- Error has something to do with the lens.
If you remove the lens, and turn the camera on, that's the error message you get.
Try removing the lens, and cleaning the contacts on both the lens and body.

Drinking won't solve anything. Besides, if you use too much alcohol, you might stumble and drop the camera.

1. Try resetting the camera.
2. Remove the battery and put it back in after a short while.
3. Prayer. I'll say one myself.
Hope it works out for you before your trip tomorrow!

but I think you'd do better with some shuteye before your trip. Take it from one who's been around longer than you have, solutions often come by way of inspiration after a good night's sleep.

1. I panicked
2. Took a deep breath. "It was just wotking a second ago..." what changed?
3. I had just put on a new lens--a 50mm f/1.4 (non-d) for the first time
4. Took a sigh of relief when I realized I had NOT LOCKED THE APETURE RING. You don't have to do that with a kit lens.
5. locked the apeture ring
6. smiled, as the D70 worked again, the sky was blue, the birds were singing, and once again, all was right with the world.

Same thing happened to me last week. Talked to service tech tried several different lens and various forms of resets to no avail. Nikon service now has it and it has a code C to replace major parts.

Mic B, i just finished packing mine up, so i think there just gonna exchange it strait up praise the lord! i would suggest just trading it in for a new one if possible. its so sad!
I have only used Nikon service a few times they have always repaired and never replaced. It would be nice if they would replace on this new an item.
Hope everything works out well for you.
