This is not dust on the mirror but on the focussing screen. My advice is just ignore it. All my cameras have some screen dust. Whatever you do DON'T blow air onto the screen. I is possible to ...

Think I'll fire up the boiler in my D2X too - you guys have filled me with neuralgia...

Meant £900 ($1200), of course.

Looks like a hair alright. Here we go. Q-tip/cotton bud - wind some clear adhesive tape the wrong way around the tip so the sticky is on the outside. Full battery, find Mirror up for sensor ...

The autofocus sensor module sensor sits underneath the mirror and is visible when the mirror is up "M- UP" on the mode dial although it is hard to see as the sensor sits in a well and points back ...

Basically  I'm asking JUST about the universal softbox speedring - the white plastic/nylon double ring with a cold shoe seen here with a fitting for a speedlight flash at the top, but big enough ...

Of course not, however I was experiencing an "apparent" failure, which thank goodness, wasn't a card failure after all but enough for me to realise I want a back-up card when working. Didn't have ...

Once and once was enough, well almost. A 4Gb card from my D2X. "Card contains no images" or similar was the message. I nearly passed out. It contained 200 Raw wedding images. Turned out to be a ...

Seems to be back to normal now - know idea what I did to cause or rectify this. Thanks to all.

Thanks. I've several "de-cluttering" programs that I don't use but I recall that some of them delete browsing history so I've uninstalled them just to see if that helps. Thanks again, Phil

Thanks, it's Windows 7 Home Premium.

All of a sudden Internet Explorer 11 does not remember passwords for Dpreview and other sites forcing me to re-enter email and passwords to log on every visit. I haven't to my knowledge altered ...

"We say Nigh-con, not Knee-con" ... Who says Knee-con? We brits say Nikkkkon, as it happens just like the Japs who actually make 'em!

Just had mine fixed for same issue at Nikon UK. Just under £150 for new mount/rubber grips and a full service inc postage both ways. Works fine now.

Just DON'T use ANY compressed canned air duster, even for photo use. They are too strong and can dislodge components as well as spit out liquid which can get under the AA filter and ruin a sensor.

Thanks everyone. I had a further go myself with some "soft" colour. Also I took some liberties with the babies face, borrowing some features from another baby (well they all look the same don't ...

I have been asked if there's any way to restore a photograph. It was taken in Calcutta, India at the start of the British Raj somewhere around 1860. When I first saw it it seemed a hopeless case as ...

Just cleaned my own mirror - mostly dust removing with a small soft brush with almost zero pressure. Absolutely no need to spend much money here. For you ONE drop of Eclipse fluid- NO MORE THAN ONE ...
