Hav u tried looking thru e viewfinder w/o e lens attached?

If same outcome encountered after doing diz, get it changed asap. If not, something is wrong w e lens... get it changed.

its completely normal.

its to power up the centre focus box in your viewfinder.

look through your manual.
its explained iirc.

Care to share which page of e manual is dat?

If u r referring to e troubleshooting page 120, I believe diz is a different situation.

[markccm]

just looked through the D50 manual.
its not stated in the D50 manual.

but its stated on the D70 & D70s manual

K... thanks man

[fatjp]

The line only appear when u power up the camera.

So doest that mean t is normal ?

Anyone have this line appearing after power up.

U need a white colour background to notice this line

[fatjp]

Downloaded the manuel, see the section, my one thin line is off center dont think is the grid line in the manuel of D70

I think need to call up to confirm

[itchy]

I have one such line but is from the centre of the viewfinder to the top. Eeeeh I din think too much abt it now that people start mentioning heh heh. think i'd better check out the manual in more discrete detail.

[MyNikon]

Don't worry about that thin line.
Like what markccm said, its there to supply power to the focus area so that it lights up when you half-press your shutter release button.

[timlim]

it's is 100% normal.

if you change the focus area, you will see another thin line extending to the newly selected "[ ]"...

as already mentioned in earlier, it is to illuminate the selected "[ ]".

Now dat u mention it, I can safely say it is perfectly normal.

No further cause for alarm coz both my D50 n D70s goes thru diz at start up.

[fatjp]

ok i tryed out and figuring the whole nite . Whenever i change a focus point the thin line will appear jointing the focus point.

No more worry now .

Thx all

[sykestang]

There has been like... 3-4 threads on this already.

Hi jamestan i love this camera since this is my first DSLR. It is surely better to handle than a PnS, faster reaction, almost instant startup.

I dont know that there is free 2 piece of card free. I only got a 1Gb sandisk and very big camera nikon bag free.

The len is enough for indoor use i mean my HDB flat.

I didnt try thr flash so no idea at the moment.
