p.1 #1 · D70 over exposing images.

My D70 is overexposing images in bright daylight, has anyone had this problem and if so did cleaning the contacts on the camera help? I just starting thinking what could be wrong. Camera not here to verify, but I have a feeling that maybe it is not closing the apeture on the lens. Guessing of course, but would like to hear from anyone who may have tried this or had a similiar problem.

Wow, I haven't had that problem... my D70 has the tendency under expose rather than over expose.

Cheers,
Ken

Check your depth of field lever but i'm sure it's not that..

Dont want to be an alarmist here...but did you buy the D70 between March-Sept of 2004? If so, the unexplained overexposure is a known precursor to the blinking green light of death that afflicts the D70. I believe you can get it fixed for free even if your camera is out of warranty since its a known problem.

Hopefully its just a temporary glitch and not the BGLOD!!

It could also be a sticky aperture on one of your lenses. Make sure that is not the cause. Try some other lenses.

Or try turning down your exposure compensation. I usually find myself setting to -3 or -7 on really bright days to avoid blown highlights.
