Hi All, One of the thin, wide brown clips that hold one of the ribbon cables in place on my CP990 broke while I was working on it. I called Nikon, seeing if...
Hi Tom, Ebay has a unit that doesn't work on play for ~$30. A few others are also for sale. I still have mine but it works except for battery that holds...
Hi there. Having got my Coolpix 990 and bought a 1GB compact flash card. I was keen to view the photo's that I had taken. I have a Hiyatek compact flash card...
Hi Charlie. I was that desperate this morning I plugged the Compact Flash Card into a simple data recovery program I have on a computer running Win ME. It...
Hi Charlie. Good news at last. I got my internet sorted out and was then able to get hold of photorescue. Problem solved as I can now download all the pictures...
Has anyone has tried using a compact flash card bigger than 1 GB in their coolpix 990? If so, what happened? Did it recognize the card at all? Only use 1 GB...
Back when I was shooting with my CP990, if such a thing as a 1GB card would have existed, it would have probably cost well over $2,000! So, I never had the...
Indeed, FAT16 format capacity is limited to 2GB only, for more you need FAT32, unknown for CPX990. SD cards too, when reached 2GB, switched to SDHC, another...
... Pedantically, you /could/ stretch FAT16 to 4GB (e.g. with a bigger sector size), but it was risky. No need to today, of course, with FAT32 & NTFS etc. I...
I own such SD card, a 4GB Transcend, from the days of SD to SDHC migration. It is recognised in a PDA (Pocket PC) from the same period (5 years ago or so) and...
Hi Guy's. Done quite a bit of searching, but have failed to come up with any info on whether or not I could fit a rubber eyecup to the 990 viewfinder. I cannot...
Hoodman came out with something similar to what you are describing. It's a screen loupe - rubber hood, with magnifier - that fits over the viewscreen. Very...
Hi Mike. Nice to hear from you on this. Are we thinking about the same thing? I have read about the hood with magnifier, but feel sure that these were for the...
... Hi, I do not think there was an eyepiece magnifier as there is no lip to attach it. However you can have an LCD magnifier - see my home made one...
Hi Chris. Many thanks for the reply. The LCD idea is a great one and I can see that it would be very helpfull to a lot of 990 users.Chris, what I wanted to do...
This is an LCD magnifier, not for the optical viewfinder. Glad to see you are still using your trusty 990. Mine has taken more pix than the next three cameras...
Hi Mike. Funny that. You get new camera's and they never seem to eclipse the old one. I had a Leica M3 years ago. Parted with it and have never stopped crying...
Hi Guy's. Just got the right drivers installed for my coolpix 990. But it keeps telling me that there is no CF Card in my camera or card reader. There is! I...
Be sure to have the 990 format the card, not the computer. Mike Russell - www.curvemeister.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Hi Mike. Have always formatted the card in the camera, just like the manual say's. But I have done a lot of tests on the ca,era, the card reader and my second...
Hey, Walt! Before you go spending your pension on a 2Gb card, make sure your camera works with smaller cards, like 256Mb and 512Mb cards first! I remember...
Hi David. Thanks for your input. I would have liked a smaller CF Card than 2GB, but there does not seem to be any about.I searched for two or three days for...
... Walt, I have a box with off CF cards, some of which will certainly have been used with a 990. But I'm in the UK, so sending a card (especially at this...
Walt, Where are you? I have a 256 MB Sandisk that I used in my 990. I also have a couple of 1GB Sandisks that I got for my 8400 but have not tried them in...
Hi Paul. Nice to hear from you. I am thrilled to learn that you actually have the Sandisk CF Cards that I am looking for. It goes without saying that I would...
