Hi all, Hi Ken,

That's the way I and many other experienced people have done it for years. See
my earlier post!

I would like to wire up an external battery pack

clean the sensor - cant clean sensor without EH-4
power supply or external battery.


Hi Vb,
I'm fairly sure that the repair manual for the D1X will have the pin outs you
require.

The folks at Nikon might shudder, but I always found that I could just
dial-down the exposure to "bulb" and then vacuum clean the sensor
(without touching it) merely causing air to flow over it at a high speed and
be then removed from the camera.

I found this technique to be very effective, and seldom required...I also
liked the fact that nothing but air touched the sensor.

This wont fix some cleaning problems, but for the occasional dust mote, it's
worth a thought.

Good luck, Ken Tjomsland
