I have had my Nikon D70 for over a year without any problems. Now it's telling me I need to format my memory card. I did so, to see if the error "For" would go away, but no luck. I can't take pictures until I find a solution! Help! |

Does the green light by the memory card slot keep blinking? |

Berny...thanks for your reply. No, the green light does not keep blinking...it's working normally. |

Is it only happening on one card? Have you tried other memory cards? I am trying to ascertain if it is the camera at fault or if you have a faulty memory card. |

Berny, I tried my daughter's card and the same thing happened. However, I have been "experimenting". First of all, I tried once again to read my memory card and when I click on "My Computer" and the drives show up, normally drive G, my card reader, has a name something like Nikon D70 something...well, it had some "jibberish" letters and numbers. So...I tried to format the memory card on the computer and that worked...so I then put it back in the camera and it WORKED! The camera took ONE picture, and then the same thing all over again, except this time, it first flashed the letters "CHA" which is telling me that the card is not compatible...I have no clue what's going on. Nikon wants me to send the camera in, but I don't want to give up just yet. I will wait to hear from you again...thanks so much! |

Seems like a write problem to me. Have you tried a new memory card? If that still does not work, you may have a problem with the camera and may have to send it in. Have you updated the firmware? |

Berny...thanks for all your help. I had tried one of my daughter's memory cards and had the same problem, but a couple days later I tried a different one of her cards, and it worked fine...so it was a problem with my card. The other day I went to the shop where I purchased the camera, and he said he's had other people with the same problem...he suggested that I format the card every time I delete the pictures from it. Now I am trying to find a reasonable place to download an image recovery software to recover the pictures from my old card. Thanks again! |

I'm glad it worked out. Out of curiosity, what brand memory card are you using? There are certain brands that do not work well with the D70. |

Berny...I am using a CompactFlash memory card by Lexar. It's a 1GB. Thanks again for all your help! For future reference, are you aware which ones do NOT work in the D70? Thanks! |

Wow, that is surprising! On page 192 of the manual is a list of approved and tested by Nikon for use in the D70. |

I've had my D70 for a year and a half and had no problems until this morning when the green memory card light started blinking continuously when I turned the camera on and kept it up even when the camera was off...(I've done the upgrade and my battery is not one of the recall #s)... Charging the battery made no difference, so I'm about to try another memory card thanks to what I'm reading here. The card that's in it now is a Compact Fash 512. |

You are experiencing BGLOD (blinking green light of death) contact Nikon immediately and arrange for a repair. They will repair your camera for free even if it is out of warranty. Go here http://www.nikonusa.com/template.php?cat=1 Then click on service advisory. |

What brand compact flash are you using? Compact Flash is a type of memory card and there are generics out there. |

Berny, thanks for this information. Mine experienced the BGLOD right before I needed to shoot an event... Good thing the D70 was just my backup... FYI, my memory card was a 1G IBM Microdrive... Question: do you know if they would upgrade the firmware and/or clean the camera when they perform this service? |

Not a good idea to use a micro drive on the D70. Causes too much heat, and I don't believe Nikon advocates its use. When they perform the service, your camera gets a full work over and will brought up to specs as if it just came out of the factory. Cleaned and updated. |

Thanks for the info Berny! I will sell my microdrive and get another card. Any recommendations? Are the Hitachis any good? |

Berny, I gave the D70 Manual a quick glance and the DSCM and 3K4 IBM Mircrodrives are approved memory cards (Page 192). Mine is the DSCM 11000 1G manufactured by Hitachi Global for IBM. Eitherway, just FYI. I will most likely still get a Lexar or something since they are coming down in price nowadays... still want your recommendations tho! thanks! also, i will fill you in on my experience with Nikon with regards to my D70 repairs... |

Richie, Good call on the microdrives, for some reason I remember reading that it wasn't recommended somewhere. But I still do not recommend them for the reason I stated above. Lexar and Sandisk work well. And I do not recommend any cards higher than 1GB. I used to do it, and I filled up a 2GB card...it got corrupted and zap! All the pictures are gone. Don't put your eggs all in one basket, as the saying goes. If you are shooting RAW then get multiple 1GB cards. If shooting at the highest quality JPEG, then I recommend multiple 512MB cards. |

Hi, I have just bought a new memory card (Crucial 1Gb) and need to format it. I have misplaced my manual. I've tried looking for the manual online with no results. Can anyone tell me how to format a new card correctly? Is it automatic? I have to take photos for a friend this evening!! Thanks |

Place it in the camera. There are 2 buttons on the D70 that say "Format". They are both in red. One on the top right button of the camera and the other is to the leftof the viewfinder. Press them at the same time for 3 seconds. The lcd will blink "For". Press the 2 buttons again. Done.

Hi, I have a problem with the formatting of the microdrive of a Nikon D1X. The drive was having consistently problems with some saved files, exactly like bad sectors on a harddrive. So I used scandisk to try to fix it and also formatted the microdrive on my computer. One or both must have been a bad idea because now the camera doesn't recognize the card or formatting of the card any more. Is there any way to fix that? thanx a lot |

OK, I just figured that out myself. The default was set to FAT32, but I should have used FAT. Now it works. Though now I have to check if scandisk fixed anything... |

Hi everyone, I also have a D-70 which I have had for about 2 years. I have taken well over 10000 pictures with it. For the last 4 months I have been getting the format error also as well as a cha error. I have 4 different compact flash cards and it happens on all of them . Even if I format the cards 4 times in a row. It will take 5 or 6 pictures then give format error. Remove card and reinsert and 80% of the time it will work for another 30 or so pictures. Then I also risk having gibberish instead of pictures and have to use a recovery program. Then there is the "cha" error message. Of course none of these errors are consistant. I will be going to Nikon service in Emerryville,Ca which I happen to live near and hear what they have to say. |

What brand CF cards are you using? FYI, I have been using the Nikon recommended CF cards. I started gettting this erro on one of the cards. I sent it back to Sandisk...they gave me a new one and the problem went away. |

So I've been using a Nikon D70 with no problems until now. I was uploading pictures onto my computer from the camera, and it suddenly stopped uploading. I disconnected the camera, and in place of the number of pictures on the display, it read CHA. When I tried to view the pictures on the camera's display, it read "card not compatible", or something close to this. And that is still the case. I tried reformatting it, and nothing happens. Any ideas? |

Steve, It seems like you have a card that went bad. You may want to send it back to the manufacturer for a replacement. Problems like this tend to happen when you use the camera to transfer your pictures specially if the camera is low on battery power. Transferring pictures by using the camera uses up a lot of battery power and I highly discourage this type of transfer. It is better to use a memory card reader to transfer your pictures to the PC. For the CHA error, that means your card is not formatted properly and the camera will not be able to do anything with it (again a side effect of a bad transfer). If you have a memory card reader on your PC, you need to format the card through your computer. Make sure that it is formatted to FAT only. After this is done, insert it back in to your camera and do another format. This usually solves the issue, if not, your card is defective and send it back. If you use one of the cards from sandisk or any of the memory cards recommended and tested by Nikon, you can send it back to the manufaturer and have it replaced free of charge. |

I had had the problem with my Nikon D70 camera refusing my memory card and had posted a message for help a while back. Nothing worked to fix it. Meanwhile, a SECOND card did the very same thing after about 6 months. So I then bought a SanDisk card a month or so ago and so far so good. Just a few days ago, I got an email from eCoustics...someone helping a Nikon D70 owner having a formatting problem...the CHA warning message. I don't know who sent this person the solution, but I thought it was worth a try on my two cards that had quit working. I formatted them both through my card reader, using FAT selection, and then formatted them again in my camera and would you believe..they are BOTH working perfectly...so far! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Hope this helps someone else also! |

I sure hope there are informed people checking this still. I need help. I've been using my D70 for a year and a half with no problems. I was shooting a wedding yesterday when my SanDisk Ultra II 1G card or the camera starting giving me problems. I had already shot about 400 frames when I got the CHA message from the camera. The battery life showed strong, but I had been deleting select photos during the shoot from the card, so I switched the battery. The card started working again and shooting, but it reset the countdown. When I went to take the photos off of the card and put them into the computer, only the photos from the new battery came off. There are two other folders on the card with corrupt files. I think those folders have the files to the rest of the wedding. I want to do everything possible to recover this sweet young bride's photos. Does anyone know of a data recovery program that would work? Any other suggestions? |

Jennifer, Sorry to hear about your dillemma. The problem lies within your memory card as i ahve had a few of he SanDisk Ultra replaced due to the CHA error. SanDisk will not admit to the defect however, but I have seen it happen a lot on the 512 and the 1g cards. You can check with Sandisk for recovery help. You can try the Sandisk Rescue Pro software. but whatever happens DO NOT TOUCH the card until a recovery is attempted. |

I had the D-70 and had the same problem with memory cards.Constant cha or for errors. I bought a new D-200 and all cards worked perfectly.I returned the D-70 to Nikon and for $200.00 they fixed it.Now two weeks later I have the format error again. I will return it to Nikon everyday till they fix it correctly. I believe it is a problem with faulty components during manufacturing. $200.00 seems very high for a consumer to pay for manufacurers defects.Also the problem didnt occur untill after about a year or so. |

I have the same problem with a two year old D70. I use Nikon reccomended Lexar media cards. The problem suddenly started with one. I did the format deal, it worked for a day and then started again. I tried my second lexar card, and have the same problem. Fortunately, I have an extended warranty, but this seems to be a common defect in this camera. |

Has anyone tried to reinstall the camera operating system to solve the problem? If so, did it make any diffeence? I have read some reports that tie the problem to battery condition, etc, and I wonder if it doesn't mean that the camera operating system is corrupted and fails when battery condition is low, either due to charge or repeat operations, such as multiple photos and flash. |

Stephen, I have 3 batteries for my D-70. I have tried them all. I get the problem with a fully charged battery and I dont think it is related to battery condition. If this was happening to my PC, I would reformat the hard drive and reinstall the operating system. If the problem persisted I would point to component failure. I am not sure how to do the same with a D-70. It seems like it is component failure that happens after 15 months or so.I think it will be a cold day in hell before Nikon acknowledges this problem and fixes it for free.So for now it will cost you $200.00 |

I did reinstall the operating system and made it through today-tested by taking about 400 photos, deleted some, reformatted the card a few times, swapped cards, and tried everything I could could think of to induce the "CHA" error, but haven't had any problems since I reinstalled the camera operating system. Only time will tell, I guess, since my problem has been intermittent. Fortunately I purchased an extended warranty from Ritz camera, and have another year on it, so if it needs repair it will be at no cost-but it sounds like no one knows how to fix the problem anyway, short of replacing the entire unit-and I suspect they will give me a remanufactured unit which will develop the same problem anyway. My concern re: the battery is the possibility that if the camera battery is too low, and the clock battery then fails, it may afect the operating system. (I have a vague memory, however, that this started shiortly after I tried to delete photos that were inadvertently locked, and I wonder if there isn't some error going on from trying to write tot he card due to the file locking process.) Its either hardware or software! Why don't you try reinstalling the software, and let me know if it does anything. Follow instructions as if upgrading, and just reinstall the same version 2.0A and 2.0B. |

Greetings. I have a problem with a PNY 1GB card on my D70. I have been using this card for over 2 years now, and have taken more than 10000 photos on my D70. My D70's firmware is updated to version 2.00. Two days ago, I had taken 30 pictures on the CF card. I had also previewed the images in the camera's LCD display that very evening. Yesterday, I was trying to transfer the photos to my Mac using the usual PCMCIA reader that I have been using all the while, and no volume shows up. There is an icon indicating the presence of the PCMCIA card, along with a make and model of the card. It says SAMSUNG digital card (because it uses Samsung memory inside). Usually a new volume gets mounted, but this time, there is none. I tried the card on my Windows box, but it does not detect a removable device. I put the card back in the D70, hoping that I could do a Camera to PC transfer via USB cable, and the camera keeps showing a [CHA] error. I tried cleaning the contacts, I also pried open the card and cleaned it out with compressed air, but no avail. Could my card have died overnight? Is there a way I can recover these images from the card? BTW, I tried it with other CF cards. They work in the camera as well as the computer, and I can take photos normally. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

Its either the card or the camera! I experienced the problem with both of my Nikon approved cards in my D70. Nikon said the camera neeeded to be serviced-fortunately I have an extended warranty, but noted that the problem was seldom repaired by service facilities. I reloaded the operating system-I had version 2.0 and reinstalled the same version and have not had the problem since. (The Nikon service person I have been corresponding with says I am "overanalyzing" the problem, since I think power loss in the built in lithium battery is causing corruption of the operating system when the main battery runs down-nonetheless, what was a daily problem has not re-occured in three weeks since the reinstallation of the OS and I have taken over 1500 photographs.) To diagnose your issue, I would run another card for a period of time and see if the problem re-occurs. If it doesn't, it was the card. If it occurs with another card, then try reinstalling the camera operating system. If that doesn't do it, then the camera will need to be serviced. As for the card you "opened" most cards have lifetime warranties, nbut I doubt they will honor it if you opened the card! |

Greetings Stephen, I pretty much don't care about replacing the card under warranty at this point. I'm more keen on having the photos extracted from it. The camera runs fine with the other card, and all's well on the D70 front. If anyone knows of some good CF Data recovery services who work on the hardware level, I'd be quite interested in them. |

If you go to the nikonusa.com site and look under support for the D70 upgrade it will guide you through the process. (I have not had the CHA error in a few months since doing this, but my wife says she saw the error code-she thought it meant time to charge the batteries.) You need to dowload the firmware, expand it on your PC, then copy the files to your camera's memory card and follow the instructions for installing the A & B files through the camera's menu. It is fairly basic-takes about ten minutes. |

Hi I have a problem with my D70 where there is a CHA message in the panel on the top plate that flashes (indicating that the card cannot be read). I have tried 6 cards that all work in other cameras (Sandisk etc) and it is the same with them all. I have gone through the process to format the card (both through the menu, and the 2 button method), and the message remains. It is not an intermittant problem, it is all the time, and has rendered the camera unusable. I have tried the reset button, the menu reset, taking the battery out overnight, using a freshly charged battery, switching off and on, and all to no avail. It does have the up to date firmware installed, and I tried to reinstall it, but can't because it won't recognise the memory card! I have read that other people have experienced this problem with the D70, but Nikon UK say that it is not a common problem and want to charge me £184 for a repair - they suggested that it is a data compression board problem. Another repairer suggested it was the card reader - bent or broken pins etc - but I can't see any problem with the pins on inspection. Any suggestions? Do I have to send it to Nikon, and has anyone been successful in obtaining a free repair for such a fault? It's not exhibiting the 'flashing light of death' problem, which Nikon said would be fixed free of charge if it turned out to be the same component, but they didn't think so. Help, please someone !!!!!!!!!! |

The only suggestion I have is to try formatting the card in your computer, load the update (which is the same version that you have on your computer) and try reinstalling the operating system. If you can't accomplish this because the camera will not read the card, I suspect you are in for the costly repair. Since I reinstalled my O/S, I haven't seen the problem, but mine was intermitent and my camera did recognize the card after the "CHA" error, if I removed and reinserted the card. I have read articles indicating that even after the repair, the problem re-occurs, so make sure you watch out for it and keep any repair documentation in the event you have to send it back. |

Thanks for that, Stephen, but I have tried it and it just doesn't work because the camera won't recognise the card - most frustrating!! |

I have a problem with my D70, there is a CHA message comes up and then the camera will not take any more photos. I have tried other memory cards and still no good. The only way I can get the camera to work is to turn it off, pull the battery out then put it back in. Turn the camera back on and then I may get a couple of photos off before it does it again. Does any one have any idea what this come be? |

Try reloading the operating system, as noted above. Otherwise, you will have to send the camera in for service-or buy a new camera body! |

I have now gone four months without the CHA error showing up after having reloaded the O/S. |
