I think I try that. Got to go YouTube find how it's done. I was just thinking, if I accidentally scratch it, I buy a new piece to replace, still cheaper than to give the $120 to them to clean an old piece...

Make sure you buy new micro fiber or lens clothes.

Don't use the after used clothes they will stick some oily base.

If your dusty not so serious pls using the air blower to blow it out only.

If sensor got stick dust also can used the blower to shots it out.

And turn your camera facing down and shots from down side.

[wolfton]

that one is cleaning of the interior of the viewfinder is it?

I don't know to be frank...my question to them was "how much do you charge to clean the focusing screen"

Thanks for advice bro

Ha ha forget to tell you, how to blowing the sensor,

Pls click on mirror look up with full charged battery. After shooting the air and switch off the button that is.

Make sure you got LED torch light and see inside got dirty or not 1st.

No is inside the lens mount.

i mean the price NSC quote may be for the whole viewfinder instead...

i think is for the whole viewfinder.. my fren asked them for quote for the cleaning of the inside of viewfinder and they quoted 120 if i rem correctly

Huh the viewfinder won't spoil or dust go in.

Pls check it up.

If DX body all the VF has been fully sealed.

No matter how you blow the dust or air they won't go inside the cover or PBC cover.

When you look the dusty is from the mirror or mirror top got white color plastic cover for you the see inside the mirror.

Should be for whole thing. Even so it is way way too expensive...it's ok, I already decided to DIY. Like mention if accidentally scratch the old piece, I will just use it as a reason to change to the split-prism one

Thinking of putting d7000 on a bicycle, pls suggest good fasteners.

Btw, will camera be able to bear shakes and bumps ?

You wanna record video whilst riding?

I dunno if there will be issues. For me I guess I'd err on the kiasu side...

If they can mount a dSLR on a car rig, I suppose the same can be done on a bicycle. I just don't know if there will be any issues.

I think it would be safer and lighter to use a GoPro instead

Focusing in the dark

Went to sky bridge last night and could not auto focus In the dark.

Turned on the auto focus illumination that turns on the bulb and helps in establishing focus.

Noticed that the bulb does not illuminate the subject in the middle but slightly on the right side, perhaps light direction is that way, which is not very useful.

What is a good approach for focusing in the dark.

My canon 600d used annoying pre-flashes and was effective, is there something similar in d7000 ?

[fmeeran]

Torchlight?

[lotus80]

Torchlight?

Another thing to carry :-/

Does your mobile phone have an LED torch built-in?

[Konspire]

If you mount a Nikon speedlight (SB600 and above) and use center focus point, the flash can emit a grid pattern from the AF illuminator on the flash. It is less irritating than the camera's AF illuminator. It helps with accurate AF too

How can i use flash to obtain focus ? Can d7000 fire pre-flashes or something ?
Thanks
