Replace A Nikon D80 Eyepiece

You can replace the eyepiece on a Nikon D80.


The Nikon D80 is a 10-megapixel DSLR camera that's slotted between Nikon's entry-level models, such as the D40, and the D300 and other prosumer cameras. The D80 has many of the same controls as on the more advanced Nikon models, including dual jog dials for quick adjustment of shutter and aperture settings while shooting in manual. The D80 was one of the first Nikons to use SD memory instead of CompactFlash. The eyepiece on the D80 can be switched out or replaced if lost.


Instructions


1. Turn off the camera.


2. Slide the old eyepiece off by grasping both edges and gently sliding it upwards.


3. Slide the new eyepiece---either the DK-21M magnifying eyepiece, which magnifies the image in the viewfinder by a factor of 1.1, or the DK-21, which is the standard eyepiece---back into place over the eyecap slots.


4. Power on the camera and look through the viewfinder to verify that the eyepiece is installed correctly and does not distort.
