What's up with my D70s?
I've got a problem with my Nikon D70s all of a sudden, and I haven't a clue what's going on. (see attached image)I've got a f1.4, 50mm lens on, and was hoping to take some chilled out shots of my nephew on xmas day. This shot is of his toys. It looks like a really bad screen print! All the colours are way off and separating. What's going on? I'd very much appreciate it if anyone out there could give me a clue as to what's happened, and ways to get it back on track. Thanks!

Are all your images like this one? You may want to reformat you compact flash card and try again. Ray

Thanks for your response Ray, Only the ones I've taken in the last week or so. I tried with a different flash card and got pretty similar results. Could it be anything to do with me giving the mirror a quick clean with the blower? It's the only thing that I can think has happened to the camera between it taking perfectly good shots and this sort of mess!

No its not the mirror, that flips out of the way when you expose. At this point it sounds like some of the color settings on the camera are off. Check your manual and reset the camera to factory default. This will be a two button reset and you will find the instructions to this on page 111 of your manual. Let's see if that will help you. Ray

Ok - I've done both - reformatted the card, and reset factory settings (again - although I did that straight off as soon as I saw what had happened)I switched from shutter to aperture priority and found the effect slightly lessened on the aperture setting, but still alarming. I've just taken this shot now:

I'm out of ideas as to what is going on and this may require the camera to go in to an authorized Nikon repair center. I've never seen this before. I'm trying to get in touch with a Nikon repair buddy of mine to get his input. Ray

Ray - thanks for you help with this! I've repeated the formatting, and the factory setting thing - and... it seems to be behaving itself now. I've just shot some random stuff in varying light conditions and there doesn't seem to be a repeat of the problem. I've no idea what was up with it. I'd still like to know, if anyone has any answers! Thanks! C
