This could actually apply to all DSLR cameras I suppose. It is quite predominant with the Nikon D300 having researched it and seen other Nikon D300 owners have had/have the same issue . From what I can gather weather temperature change causes over a long time (months/years) the rear screen to go faint although the photos are ok. I thought to myself "oh well had it a long time is it worth keeping".
Being sentimenal old git I didn't want to part with it then again didn't want to spend £s getting the problem sorted. Then I came upon this trick which I am trying out. After only 24 hours the rear screen is getting a lot clearer.
So what I found out is using Silica gell sachets. So put the camera without the lens cap into a sealable plastic bag with some gell packs. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal the camersa and gells inside. The vacuum inside together with the gells draw out and catches moisture in the camera body.
As I said I have only tried it so far for 24 hours checking every so often no air has got back inside the plastic bag.
So far I can no see the rear screen a lot clearer in daylight where as before I had to go indoors to see it in a darker area, so it looks as if the trick is working
