The best solution in most cases is to reduce the exposure so as to avoid the blown-out highlights. However, if you simply want to get rid of them on the screen, press up/down on the multiselector to select a view you prefer.

Are you sure the card is being inserted properly? If it's wrong, it won't go in all the way.

the sd card slot is designed in such a way that when you push your card inside the slot till the deepest part and when yout leave it, it fits into the slot. if you want to take the card out you have to push the card again till the deep and leave to get it out.(just like a spring aided trap). i dont think that your slot is damaged.may be you are unsure how to insert the card in the slot. if you still find problems, please write back.

You're seeing blown-out highlights. These are areas where you've irrevocably lost data due to overexposure. If too much of the picture is blown out, you may want to reduce exposure some and shoot again to preserve the data.

You can press up or down on the multiselector to change your view. The camera provides several different views of your images, including data, histogram, and, as you've discovered, highlights.

Note That you must keep the WB button pressed with your left thumb while you move the main front-right dial with your right thumb if you are trying to use the WB button. Pressing WB once will not change the WB settings.

Another way to change these settings is through the cameras menus. Hope this helps.

Depending on your location, you can get one from second hand shops. You can also try getting one from e-bay but they may tend to be more expensive or unreliable if you have not seen the product first hand

This may be due to the aperture ring in your lens. Try the following:

1. Turn off your camera
2. Move the aperture ring clockwise then lock
3. Turn on your camera and try again.

If this does not work, do the same thing again but turn the aperture ring counter-clockwise.

At first it sounds like a faulty aperture blade that is stuck after your first press. However you mentioned that this happened in other lenses as well. Seems to me that there is a problem with your camera (e.g. mirror lockup problem or something else). Pls have it looked at by Nikon

Without knowing where you are, the best thing I can tell you is your local authorized Nikon dealer.

You didn't specify the lens, but I'll bet you're getting the shadow of the lens hood. Try removing the lens hood.

Is your exposure compensation setting too high?

Try removing any filters, if you have any on the lens. Check the front and rear lens elements for dust/fingerprints and clean if necessary. Check the mirror (remove lens and take a look) and very carefully clean if dirty. Remove the lens and gently clean the gold contacts on the back of the lens and in the lens opening of the body with a pencil eraser. Don't let the bits fall inside the body. Try the focus outdoors in good light of a scene with lots of clutter in the frame to see if the problem only occurs in low light. Check the menus and make sure the focus assist lamp is in the on position. Let me know if these solve your problems.

Some things to try.
Go to the menus and reset all of them to default.
Check the camera.
I am not sure this has anything to do with the lens. Diff. lenses may give less light, true.
I am almost sure this has something to do with the settings.
Try above and see if it works.

It seems that there is some dust particle on the sensor. Try cleaning the sensor as per the instructions in the manual and then check. In case the spot still appears, then the CMOS sensor might be damaged / burned out and you will need to replace it.

are you standing in front, facing the camera ?

Good luck

format on your computer because on the divice it goes haywire and copies all files

Check the Lens switch for A/M (auto/Manual focus), also check the front bottom right of camera, there is a switch, set it to AF also. Hope that helps

i had a similar problem - it was the interface between the lens and camera - some of the connectors were stuck depressed, i just poked them and they popped back out.

There are 2 things why it may be acting so.

First: Mayby youhave changed the shooting settings to Aparture Priority.

Second: Mayby you have bracketing on.

Check those 2 things and then get back to me.
