This Nikon D610 would not make an exposure but showed ERR on the LCD with the mirror staying up. A second press of the shutter release would complete the cycle, the mirror would go down, and the ERR would disappear.

A common repair on these Nikon AF-S 18-200mm VR lenses is a torn VR flex. The symptoms are erratic VR (image stabilizer) or focus issues, especially at the 200mm focal length. Replacing the VR flex is pretty straightforward, but if you attempt it....do so at your own risk !!! See part 1 for the lens disassembly and flex replacement. This part 2 shows how to reassemble the lens. Music: www.benso...

A common repair for the Nikon D80 is for the ERR message on the top LCD and usually a whirring noise with a stuck mirror partially up. It's caused by a split gear on the mirror motor and is easily replaced. Part 1 shows the disassembly and replacement of the gear with one purchased at online auction sites. This Part 2 shows the reassembly of the camera.

The customer wanted to reliably be able to use the lens with manual focus. The "slip clutch" is a simple fix but getting to the focus motor can be time consuming.

A lowlife burglar broke a window on the dark end of our shop building and started a bad early morning for us. Luckily the alarm detected him before he could take anything and he ran back out the same window he entered when the alarm went off. The basement door had been knocked down before he broke the window but this wasn't caught on the motion detection camera in the dark. Thanks to the city p...

This "family" of four was recently discovered in our backyard near a former groundhog hole. Very playful.
