As far as I remember the Nikon F801 use 6 V lithium batteries.

How about renaming the *.exe files to *.xex files?

The sensors "limitation" is: D850 46 MPx / D6 20 MPx.

Does the OIS work corretly also? If not, the OIS lens is tilted.

What are the results when you make these pictures with OIS=ON?

It is because of the mixing mechanics and electronics together, I think. DIY repairers have to learn not only the the mechanics and the electronics but the interaction between these parts, too. Professional repair shops eschew the use of spare parts they had to remove from other cameras of the...

Why did you lose them? Did you throw them away? If not and if there is only this contact problem you may fix it that way.

If these foam strips are stretched or positioned imprecisely, conductive areas will overlap. If you have conductive silver, Andreas, place the contact foils directly on top of each other and first coat one of the sides that will later touch with conductive silver.

A fine work, Andreas! And to the problems with the elastic connectors in the front flex connector: It may be of interest to know how they work and how to adjust them after first removal, but what the heck - your work around is good.

How about winding the film crank to cock the shutter bevore removing the lens tray?

Hello Andreas! That may be a reason, but the high price for repairing high-end cameras which were extremely expensive when buying new ones is accepted - only the price for repairing mass-produced, cheap cameras is often not accepted, as I see myself.

If you see such a cloudy spot through the eyepiece and the cloudy spot is visible twice from the ground glass side you have no real chance of removing it. It is the decomposing foam strip that has attacked the black paint of the prism. You would have to remove the prism, remove...

Thanky you all for your tipps. We'll see...

Yes, it does switch to 1/90 sometimes, when the FE is set to 1/2s. What is the conclusion then - I think it is not practiable to dismount the FE completely to recognise that there is an itermittent fault within the electronics which I can't repair?

I checked for the two batteries and tried new ones also. An intermittent connection between the battery compartment and the electronics I deliberated also. But why is the exposure metering still active, showing 1/2s for example, when the mechanical 1/90s are working?
