Hello!
I just joined this list and it looks like it will be very useful, but I need to start with a question.
I am an American living in India, and am headed to Nepal in five days. Of course, my camera picked today to go out. It still shoots, but the view screen won't show anything. (It comes on briefly when I turn the camera on, then goes blank. There's not enough time to press any buttons or do anything.) I'm sure it's because I've been shooting in the monsoons here in India :-(, but there are no repair facilities nearby in India that could get it done in three days.
So, I'm wondering if there's anything I can check myself before I head from the Kathmandu airport to whatever camera shop can fix it there. (I looked on the Nikon site, and don't see any official service centers in the entire country.)
I know, I know, don't take the camera out in the rain. :-( I've got a dry bag, but this is monsoon season and as hard as I try, I'm bad at keeping it dry.
Or can I just pretend I'm doing it old school, and not look at the pics until I get back to my computer.
Thanks for helping out a newbie who does stupid things.
Thanks!
