    F90X

    IPA stands for isopropyl alcohol. You can get this from pharmacy or Sim Lim Tower (PCB board cleaner). This was how I removed the sticky stuff from my F90x a few years back.

    F90X

    Remove the cover from the back. Remove the rollers as well. Soak the back cover in IPA. Use some plastic scrapper to remove the sticky stuff. The back will be shiny plastic and you'll lose the icons, as fatique has mentioned.

    Trip To Borneo Rainforest. Advice Needed.

    Keep gears to a minimum as uneven terrain, slopes, heat and humidity will take its toll on you. Wearing anti-leech socks does not guarantee keeping out the leeches. It is nothing more than a cloth stocking (without elasticity); with the open-end having a string to secure it to your leg...

    Lens servicing

    Warranty is meant for covering manufacturing defects/faults only. So servicing would be chargeable.

    Application of passport for PRs' baby

    Don't worry. Baby in your hand does wonders. Express service and no RM200 at all. Anyway, consular matters do not have long queues.

    Can memory cards be checked in?

    Electronics can withstand X-rays. X-rays are commonly used to inspect soldering joints. Magnetic field from conveyor belt systems will not damage your camera. To destroy electronic circuits using radiation energy, you'll need electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from a nuclear device.

    Cost for cleaning lens by Nikon Singapore

    You can try asking Cathay to send it in for you but you'll need to pay extra service charge. Advantage: no need to take 1/2 day leave. NSC will charge about $200. That's what I paid 2 years ago. Frankly, if the dust specks don't affect picture quality, just live with it. Dust will still...

    D200 flash contact problem with external flash

    Did you mount the flash while the body and/or flash are switched on? Try switching off both the body and flash before you mount the flash. See if it still "auto" flash.

    Nikon AF lenses and AFD lenses

    Sorry! Missed out that one. :embrass: AF-S has the distance chip so offers similar accuracy but with faster focusing due to SWM.

    Nikon AF lenses and AFD lenses

    AFD lenses offers more accurate flash exposure because distance to subject is relayed to the camera. Nikon flash system is among the best, if not the best, available.

    nikon warranty

    No matter what, you'll still have to produce your receipt when you claim warranty service/repair. Else NSC will not be able to determine whether the purchase date on warranty card is genuine.

    Macro shot of moving aquarium fishes, how?

    You'll need a smaller tank just for fish photography. Else the fishes will be moving all over the place. With a small tank it is easier to clean the glass and have crystal clear water (change just befor photo session). Let the fish/es adapt to the smaller tank before beginning your session.
