Hi, my Nikon D7000 has recently begun to discharge its battery within 24-48 hours while the camera is turned off! The camera is just a year old and has not been used that much so it shouldnt be the battery that has been worn out. One incident which preceeded this problem was that the camera dropped out of the car seat down into gravel and got some scratches but apart from that is working as it should. If thats not the cause, the only difference of use from before that I had it filming for 20 minutes straight for the first time without interruption or cool down the night before the problems started to happen (but after the drop). Would you guess its indeed the battery thats gone bad for some reason (PREFERABLE I must say!), or that something broke in the camera body that is now causing the camera to consume power when its off?
When your camera dropped, an electronic circuit probably shorted out. Because of the short circuit, current is being drained from your battery all the time. You need to send your camera in for repair.
Call 1-800-NIKON-US (1-800-645-6687) 9AM-8PM EST, Monday to Friday and they will help you return your camera for an estimate and repair.

Have you tried the 'Menu' button? If you've turned off 'Review' in the settings menu, the screen doesn't show anything after you take a picture. If the screen doesn't come on when you push the 'Menu' button with a charged battery installed, your camera will need to be repaired.

No lights or anything?
Best I could offer at this point is check the battery contacts are clean, use a pencil eraser or a cotton bud (Qtip) moistened (not wet) with isopropyl alcohol (tape/stylus cleaning fluid) and check the battery door is properly closed...

hi..
This screen shows areas of the photo that are overexposed slightly.
It flashes them to help you.
You get to this screen by pressing the up or down arrows when displaying the pictures you have taken.
To change it just press the up arrow when the camera is showing the screen until you get a display without flashing.
Once you have done this the display will be steady.
If you get any other screen in future you may have accidently pressed the arrow again.
Just cycle thru the displays to get back to steady.
thank u
rate me!!
SOURCE: My nikon D60 is taking dark photos.
The only reason the camera will be taking dark photos is when it is under exposing the image taken. This can be due to the exposure compensation set to under expose the metered exposure. Make sure the expsosure compensation is set to '0' or increase it to compensate for the dark photos.
Also inaccurately metering a scene (such as a high contrast scene) can easily fool the meter into under exposing, especially outdoors.
