Всем привет. последнее время с моим D70s регулярно случаются проблемы. Началось все 2 месяца назад, когда ни с того ни с сего, включив камеру, у меня было написано «CHA», и вся файловая система на карте полетела. Файлы которые там были смог вытащить программой для восстановления.
В праздники снимал на выставке, так первые несколько кадров были битые — при просмотре нижняя половина фоток была какой-то зеленой, а при увеличении они были все в каком-то цветном муаре. Несколько раз форматнул карту, все стало нормально. Сегодня снимал в клубе, так во время съемки мне камера пару раз не давала сделать кадр, и на верхнем дисплее было написано «FOR», после выключения-включения камеры, все становилось нормально.
Я теперь волнуюсь — это фотик или карта накрывается? Если карточка, то хрен с ней, а вот фотик не хотелось бы на 2 месяца отдавать в ремонт.
Карта CF Transcend 1Gb 80x, ей немного меньше двух лет. Пробег фотика примерно 15000.
Карту пробовал форматировать в карл-ридере, после этого записать на нее кучу файлов различных, никаких проблем не было, все файлы записались и прочитались.
Жду комментов…
Спасибо за внимание!
D70 CHA error
Jun 17, 2010
After having my D70 camera for about 5 years, I just started getting the CHA error when I used my Sandisk Extreme II 1-gig card that I have used for years and always format in the camera. Inserting and reinserting would not get rid of it.
I read through dozens and dozens of posts on this forum going back to 2007 of people with similar problem and all the suggestions, and my own personal fear that there was something needing repair on the camera itself.
After days of getting this error and not being able to get rid of it and even putting in an old 64mb card that I had in my 2000 Coolpix (ugh…terrible first gen digital camera that I used for 5 years) and got the same CHA error, and reading all the posts, I just reinserted it BINGO it worked fine… so who knows.

Re: D70 CHA error
Could have been something on the contacts causing the problem. Is it possible that reusing the same SD card over and over for years wears it out?

I recall reading a white-paper on SanDisk website about the life expectancy of a memory card. IIRC, the number of write-cycles they were talking about was in the millions.

Re: D70 CHA error
i had mine fixed for that….
there are 2 reasons for this…
1) contact pins INSIDE are crooked, therefore not making proper contact with the connectors in the card.
2) my case… a circuit blown in the camera. after the fix, no more chr errors.

Re: D70 CHA error
This is something that happens to a lot of D70 cameras as they age. Both of mine give the occasional error, usually when the card is first inserted into the camera. Fortunately, once the card is inserted and doesn’t give the «CHA» error, the camera will work fine until the card is removed.
I read that Nikon no longer has the parts readily available to make this repair, so it can take quite some time to come back. Unfortunately, for what Nikon is now charging for this repair, you can buy a complete used D70 body…
I read that some owners had success taking an old CF card, spraying the holes with contact cleaner, and then inserting the card into the camera several times.

Всем доброго времени суток. Принесли D700 с ошибкой CHA с любой картой, разобрал, проверил картридер, все в порядке. Распросив клиента, оказалось проблема появилась после форматирования карти на компьютере и использования в фотоаппарате. Похоже проблема с памятью, возможно ли очистить?

На первый взгляд все там нормально с картридером, там он вытаскивается полностью. И контакты не погнутые, правда под крышкой не очень хорошо видно, сниму тогда крышку металическую и посмотрю получше. Спасибо Виктор.

Nikon D70 «CHA» Error
May 8, 2007
My D70 has recently started displaying the «CHA» error over a series of different cards. I just replaced a Lexar 80X 2GB card a few weeks back, but it turns out the card wasn’t the issue.
When the «CHA» error pops up, I turn the camera off and remove and reinsert the card. The problem disappears for a while then comes back.
I have always used a card reader.
Can someone shed the light on this issues? Is there anything I can do besided sending the unit back to Nikon? It would be too cost prohibitive.

Try another CF card, a slow CF card if you have one or a new card, 1GB if you have one.
I have had this problem with a brand new Sandisk Extreme 2GB, I swapped it for a Sandisk Ultra II 2GB which worked for 6 months and now does the CHA thing regulalrly on my D70 about 10 shots from freshly formatting in camera, all my other much older cards including Plain Sandisk 1GB never do this.
I suspect the D70 does NOT like some of the newer fast CF cards.

Lexar Pletinum II 2GB is the worst one.
In reply to RPK
•
May 8, 2007
my D70s does exacatly the same as what you described. some cards are more severe than others. worst one is the Lexar Platinum 2GB. I have lost so many images that I don’t even bother carrying it with me. This Lexar card is my third one from Lexar warranty and every single one of them had same issue. I use Sandisk Ultra II and it hasn’t lost an image yet but occasionally errors CHA. could live with that. sometimes if I wiggle the cf card it does go away. I’m thinking connection my be lose.
Going back to Lexar card, I used it on a borrowed D70s and it worked flawlessly. So I figurred there might be something wrong with my D70s. if you camera is still under warranty, you should contact Nikon for repair.
hope this helps.

My D70s does the same thing with 2 lexar profesional 40x WA 1GB cards I have, not so with my san disk ultra II 1GB, I resolved the problem by ALWAYS formating the card in the camera, NEVER erasing the card in my mac. Just eject the card and either erase or format in camera.
I use a MacBook Pro and Apple Aperture as my main software.
Hope this helps you as it did me.

reformatting in camera only not a cure
In reply to WineMan
•
May 8, 2007
fFormatting always in the camera has been my practice too, and it didn’t keep me from developing this problem, also with the 1GB and 2GB cards. This past weekend I erased—zeroed out—both cards in the card reader on my mac, and then reformatted in the camera. 4 or 5 card switches in and out, and haven’t seen the error—still too early to say if it was a cure, but formatting in the camera definitely was not a fix for mine.

May 8, 2007
I have the same issue with my 1 GB card. I’ve gotten to the point where I can predict when the CHA problem will occur. It’s an issue of having some bad sectors on the card. Fortunately, cards are pretty cheap. Better than having your camera with the blinking green light of death.

A few more things … I always format in the camera and tranfer via an external reader. The Lexar has never been in another camera or device, D70 only.
I’ve had the card for nearly two years and put 10K images through it so far. Just now has it started acting up.
I would suspect if the camera didn’t like the card that the issues would have surfaced long ago.
Someone suggested reinstalling the last (2.0) firmware and restore to factory settings.

I experienced random CHA errors on my D70 all the time. It didn’t matter which brand of card I used (I had both Lexar and Sandisk). I finally got tired of it and sent it to Nikon. They sent it back, claimed it was fixed and it seemed to be for about 3 months. Then it started again. I sent it back again and they replaced the «CF Circuit». Problem solved. It was working flawlessly right up to the time I sold it.
Like others have mentioned, the CF card is the first suspect. I went down that road, trying different cards, had 2 cards replaced. Nothing worked. In my case it was a hardware problem. Maybe yours too!
Cheers!

Not so I am afraid, my Sandisk Ultra II 2GB worked fine for 8 months!
I replaced it today under warranty with a new Sandisk Extreme III and it shows no signs of CHA plus it works faster in my D70 on burst mode.
None of my other cards [a mix of 2 x Sandisk 1Gb, 1 x unbranded 2Gb and 2 x Fuji 512MB] exhibited CHA error either in 50,000 plus exposures.
Buy a new card, or have your card replaced under warranty, then and ONLY IF the problem persists have your camera checked, could save you a lot of drama.

Not replaced, but zeroed card now working
In reply to Kluso
•
May 12, 2007
Last week I reformatted both of the cards that were giving me trouble using my card reader and computer (using disk utility on the Mac), doing the kind of erase where it puts zeroes over everything, then reformatted back in the camera, and after another dozen or so card changes, no more CHA or FOR errors.
Still not sure this is a permament fix, but way better than replacing cards or repairing camera.

The CHA and -E- and FOR errors continued, and I finally broke down and bought a new Toshiba 2GB card, and it is giving the same problem straight out of the box.

Increasingly common for D70
In reply to debunix

Sep 19, 2007
Anyone else notice that it seems like more D70 owners are reporting this problem? I don’t know whether it is as often as the BGLOD error in the past. A sign of your D70 hitting middle age I guess (if you can call 2 1/2 years ‘middle age»).

I had initially CHA and FOR errors, but now it’s -E- every now and then.
I think that my problem is in the connector or circuitboard, since when I press the card a little, -E- goes away.

Had the camera more or less since it was launched. Started to get this problem about six months ago. As described above, happens with all four or my cards. Tends to be solved if I take the card out and reinsert — sometimes I’ll have to reinsert two or three times to get it to work.
Have always formated card in camera and 99% of the time use card reader to transfer images.

Happens on my camera too, quick-fix is just popping the card out and back in.
It happens pretty often after lens changes…
I think there’s no more warranty on the body, after I’ve had it for 3 years now, so I guess I’ve got to live with it…or chat up my local camera store about the issue and see what they say..

After weeks with a production Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Chris and Jordan get into more detail than they could in their initial review.

Topaz Labs’ flagship app uses AI algorithms to make some complex image corrections really, really easy. But is there enough here to justify its rather steep price?

Ultra-wide to short telephoto?! The Sony FE 20-70mm F4 G has a very useful focal range, so we took it to the mountains to see how it performs.

After weeks with a production Sony a7R V, Chris and Jordan present their final conclusions.

The Sigma 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sport is a very versatile super telephoto lens, and we’ve got some impressions.

The short version:
Nikon D70 CHA errors may be repairable by disconnecting and reconnecting both ends of the ribbon cable that connects the CF slot to the main board. See this excellent Nikon D70 iFixit guide for details about how to take apart and reassemble your camera.
The longer version:
Before we start, I should stop to say that this is a record of my experience, and I can’t guarantee that it will work for you. In other words, please use common sense… if you’re not comfortable handling a small screwdriver to remove parts of your camera, then it’s best to have your camera repaired professionally. Now, on to my little story…
I have a Nikon D70, which has been a good camera for many years. Over the last 2 years or so it has started to exhibit the dreaded “CHA” error, meaning that it doesn’t recognize the CompactFlash card in the memory card slot. Google tells me that other D70 owners have been able to fix this issue by replacing the CF slot, but I couldn’t find any replacement parts anywhere online. So, I decided to try to repair the existing one.
The Nikon D70 iFixit guides are great, and with a little patience I was able to remove the memory card slot assembly. I found that one pin was pushed all the way back into the plastic holder. At this point, I tried to push the pin back into it’s normal position. This was not really a good idea, as it snapped completely off the circuit board with the slightest pressure.
In my case, pin 50 was the pushed back and now broken off pin. (At least I think so… it’s the best I can figure based on the diagram at the bottom of this page: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19858-01/821-0078-10/z40000901448028.html) After consulting wikibooks.org, I found that pin 50 is one of several ground pins, so one of them missing shouldn’t affect the memory card’s operation.
So I decided to reassemble the camera and see what happens. (Nothing to lose at this point, right?) In order to get the CF slot assembly back into the camera, I had to remove the ribbon cable and connect it from the other side. It didn’t fit back through the way it came out. Although it was an accident, I’m pretty sure reconnecting this cable was the key to fixing the problem.
After finishing the reassembly, I turned the power switch on, and… it worked! It found the CF card on the first try. This in itself was an improvement over the previous state of affairs. It’s been about 2 weeks since the repair, and so far it hasn’t shown any more CHA errors.
I did the same repair on my dad’s D70, and his seems to be working again as well.
Hopefully this post can help others trying to figure out how to fix CHA errors on their Nikon D70. If you found this helpful, drop me a line on the contact page and say “hi”!

— аккумулятор из камеры вынуть
— вставить рекомендованную флешку (сан диск возрастом как можно старше)
— не форматировать — просто вставить
если на дисплее появится количество кадров — норм

ДА!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (точнее как повезет но везет не всегда)
читайте видео/фото форумы
все сервисы завалены убитыми ГоПро (к примеру) — эх ФАТ формат для все камер (видео/фото) и новую флешку надо вставлять в камеру, при этом не нажимать фомат
она сама всё сделает, потом в комп

Ещё:
— посмотрите контакты в слоте СФ камеры (иногда загибаются)
— батарейку вытаскивали?
— у меня один раз камеру перекосила не родная батарея — она показывала полный заряд а потом при нажатии кнопки зависал затвор, зеркало и ошибка
вторая свежая батарейка есть?
— если ничего не помогает попробуйте заново обновить прошивку камеры, или откатиться на старую прошивку (хм только вот не знаю — нужна опять новая флешка)
не помню некоторые камеры прошиваются через приложения и ЮСБ кабель (скорее Д700 только через флешку)
если не поможет только в сервис
