Some sort of mite I think, in behind the LCD, How to kill it ?

MrJorge

Bash the D3 repeatedly on the desk until it's dead, then go buy a Canon.

kiwi
03-06-2010, 4:35pm
I googled, maybe Im lucky ? I have the new Nikon dust reduction system and didnt know it ?

Yep, bashing the desk repeatedly with a D3 will kill any desk pretty quickly. :D

Why go and buy a Canon, it is a new desk that he needs. :p

Well, prob more accurately betwen the glass protector (is there one) and the LCD, I think, though I don't know exactly how that fits together, it might be my imagination, in strong light the LCD looks to have dark spider trails and I couldve been halucinating but I think I saw a little bug scurry across the LCD last weekend

Is this feasible or do I need a different prescription ?

Yep, more info needed, if it has 8 legs it is an arachnid (spider --- for the unzed affiliates) and if it has 10 legs it is quite simple --- you have crabs --- or at least one. :rolleyes:

Thank you so much. I really needed (Nerded) that!

Got a cat you can borrow if you really want one.
It's great with roaches. Only takes her a day or two to kill them. Usually in the shower. Watch where you step in case it goes crunch!

It's funny this came up tonight.

I just got back from talking to my Dad. He went out to shoot a garden a week or two ago and fired up his old Nikon to find a bug in his viewfinder. He's got no idea how it got there and figured it'll just die.

I was laughing my head off as he was telling me how he had to wait for the bug to get out of his way so he could take the pic.

Analog6
04-06-2010, 8:16am
Just put it into a plastic bag, suck out as much air as you can, seal it up and leave for a few days until the bug stops moving (I have no idea how long it takes to suffocate a bug) - the options of mortein, microwave and freezer would not appeal to me for my camera.

kiwi
04-06-2010, 8:52am
I would have thout a bug could live for months even with a little air left, I suppose I could vacuum seal the camera. Might make it hard to use in the morning though

Jules

Ok, getting completely scientific here now, I remember collecting bugs for a biology assignment in high school and putting them in the freezer to euthanase them. Perhaps you should put your D3 in the deep freeze overnight? And then in the morning you could pin it to a piece of foam board with a label stating its common and Latin names.

kiwi
04-06-2010, 9:21am
whats latin for Nikon D3 ?

"brilliantis cameris" ?

Jules
04-06-2010, 9:39am
No, I think you're getting confused with Canon taxonomy there.

kiwi
04-06-2010, 9:44am
no, I dont think so, I looked it up

Latin name for canon is :

inhabilis lux lucis ferramenta

Darey
04-06-2010, 9:50am
How about trying this method:

Place the D3 in a plastic bag
put in 3 or 4 moth balls
Seal bag and leave overnight
Check for dead bug in morning :cool:

If bug is still alive apply sledge hammer several times.
That will get the little Bug-ger. :lol:

CRITTERique

The photo is quite blurry, even using an iPhone you should be able to get a sharp result. Looking at it, it would seem camera movement has caused the blur. The background is a bit cluttered and there is some space on the left that would suggest you could have gotten in closer to the action. I don't find this photo a true macro, and I think you should have moved the iPhone closer and maybe rather than attempting to capture them all at once, limited your efforts to several photos, where each individual critter was the primary subject of each photo.

All in all, I have seen better work from you Darren, much better work. Sorry but this photo doesn't work for me.

Are the critters still alive? If they are I had an idea I am sure will work- send the camera to my nephews, they kill evrery pet they own really quickly - (they usually overfeed them and they burst :D)

This is best thread I have seen in ages ... I coincidentally have dust on my sensor .. I've been looking at ways to get rid of dust.

Great barrel of laughs this thread is!

What about spraying fly spray into a plastic bag, then putting your camera in and sealing it up overnight?? Would that kill it?
What? The bug or the camera?:lol:

Something buggun me about this thread.
Get the feeling that a certain flightless burd has tried to pulled the wool over our eyes.

Still reckon the funniest thing I have ever seen is when I walked out of customs at Auckland airport a few years ago...theres a sign about 5m by 2m it read:
New Zealand (insert picture o generic mountain and verdant green grass here)
20 million sheep
4 million people
Plenty of space for everyone.

My sister deadpan as ever, looks straight at me and says, "Surely the half breeds take up a fair bit of that space?" :p


And who actually had to think about what to tease Dazzler about...I mean mean...sheesh he is living in Sydney...nuff said.

on a side note, i found a bug between the screen and the glass on my Nokia E71...

i pressed the screen thinking it was dust... and the bug grew... but stopped moving...

Isn't that what dust mites are for..to eat the dust off sensors? Place your camera under your mattress for the night :lol:

Just an update

The bug is no longer there I do not think, but the crazy trails left on the inside of the LCD protective glass is darned annoying

I was wondering if the ultrasonic pest controller would kill them. I use them in my garage to get rid of bats and rodents. The bugs inside might fall dead, but they would still be there, rolling about...:umm:

I had a mite in my old SLR. It would appear in the viewfinder and hang around for a while. I couldn't get rid of it but it was really just annoyance value.

has anyone actually removed their LCD from their Nikon ? Is it wise ?
