Top 20 Nikon D60 Digital Camera - Page 3 Questions & Answers

Sometimes take your eye off the eyepiece and take a photo, does it show an error message that you have no battery left or something? If it does, fix it! :) Try switching to Auto mode, pressing the shutter all the way down and in a rather bright place. Remember to use Auto-Focus mode on your lens!

You pushed the wrong button! On the left side of the LCD display, there are four buttons. One is labeled "ISO" and the other "QUAL". In the viewing mode, these buttons are used to allow you to scan multiple frames at one time. Each time you press the ISO button, it increases the number of images displayed. Each time you press the QUAL button it reduces the number of images displayed.

I thought I saw this one before? When you have taken a picture, the Nikon want to show you where in the picture it captured to much light. These parts are "overblown". You only see parts without detail. So not lighter or darker parts when you shoot in JPG. Only when you are shooting RAW (NEF for Nikon) you could get some detail in these places, when using Photoshop RAW, DxO or any other editing program that can handle RAW files.

Hey there,The circular thumb pad on the back will set the display to single or multiple, or with histogram. Just press the upper edge or lower edge of the circular button to find the one you want.

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

If it is a power problem, then try a different battery. If it tells you to take out the battery and try again it is usually cause dby a failure of the mirror box motor.

If you were hoping for a reason to replace/upgrade the camera I think this would qualify. If you want to see if you can save it, find a camera repair shop in your area and at least have it looked at. It may cost you a diagnostic fee but that will give you a better idea of whether it's worth spending the money on.

Maybe those shots you took were in the raw mode, If so then you have to convert them with the Nikon software that camera with the camera,to view them in your laptop, Try installing that software then view them again, Hope this helps,

upgrade firmware...... or maybe one or more pins are not in contact with the SD chip...... try also cleaning the gold parts of the SD with a pencil eraser

Look into the slot, And see if you see a piece of plastic in there from one of your cards, Or look at all your cards to see if one of them is damaged, TC

Make sure that your battery is fully charged. Check the card in a card reader on a computer and see whether it has black photos. If that is the case, either the shutter is not opening or the imaging sensor has gone bad.

Job NR is usually associated with the camera's processing time during very slow shutters. If you wait long enough it will show you the image you've taken but because the shutter is very slow, the image will be blurry and unrecognizable. On manual mode or Shutter speed priority change your shutter speed to at least .125 of a second. That should fix the problem.

There is no fuse you can replace, the camera needs repairs.

the flash pivot on the release side of the flash has a small cylinder that operates the flash up switch. If that cylinder is broken off or the pivot is pushed in so the switch doesn't close, then what you describe happenspop up the flash and remove the two screws underneath, and you can pry off the cover - gently - to check the switch

It's not the aperture, it's the shutter speed. It's also not the mirror, but the shutter.The camera's fastest shutter sync speed is 1/200. You must use a shutter speed no faster than that. Due to the construction of the shutter, the frame is not fully exposed simultaneously at faster speeds and thus part of the image is blacked out.Using a flash, the amount of light is controlled almost exclusively by the flash; the exposure is controlled by the aperture and the shutter speed is all but irrelevant.

Cuando esto sucede en mi Nikon D-90, recibo un mensaje "ERR" en el panel de control. Nunca he conseguido un mensaje "vuelva a intentarlo". Sin embargo, suponiendo que esto es el mismo fallo, el manual del usuario dice que esto es un fallo de c?mara que puede ser aclarado por liberaci?n del obturador. En mi D-90 s?lo puedo hacerlo girando la c?mara y otra vez. A veces, tengo que quitar y volver a colocar la bater?a. El manual dice que si este problema persiste, debe enviarla a un centro de servicio autorizado de Nikon. Si lo que he sugerido que el problema no soluciona, sugiero que contactas Nikon support en www.Nikon.com para ver lo que proponen.

This is a hard one to answer as there can be all sorts of causes for this. Flexes can come out of their connectors. Flexes can be damaged. Depending upon where it hit, you could have shorted out the flash and blown the main circuit. What you need to do is carefully remove the bottom and back covers (careful - the back cover is connected to the main circuit by a flex!!!) and check the flexes and make sure they are seated properly. Then check the boards for impact damage. For more than this you should probably seek professional help, as there are boards in the front, top, and side that contain 300 volts for the flash and you can get a nasty shock if you do not discharge the flash capacitor using a 100 ohm 5 watt resister tool

To change the Info display format, follow the instructions in the "Info Display Format" section of the manual (page 120 in my copy). If you simply want to change the wallpaper image to one of your own, follow the instructions under "Wallpaper" (page 122 in my copy).If you need a manual, you may download a copy from here.

The D60 works as SLRs have worked for half a century, providing a viewfinder through which you frame and compose your picture. The screen is for menus, settings, and reviewing pictures you've already taken. The LiveView feature which lets you use it as a point&shoot camera was introduced with the D300, introduced a year after the D60.Sorry if that wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but that's the way this camera works.
