Can not get pictures off of internal Nikon D60

The D60 was released BEFORE HD SD cards came out. The 4 gig card MAY BE TOO BIG. HSD I think is the Nomenclature you may need a normal SD card. I think 2GB is as big as you can go but don't quote me.

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,

The D60 won't save pictures anywhere other than the memory card. If you can playback your pictures by pressing the playback button (marked with a right-pointing triangle), then they are saved on the card.

The display on the back is for the menus, reviewing pictures already taken, and shooting information. The D60 works as SLRs have worked for half a century: you use the viewfinder to compose your picture. The LiveView feature is a recent development in digital SLRs. Nikon introduced it into their cameras with the D3 and D300. The D60 is designed as an introductory model and lacks this feature. Sorry if that wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but there it is.

Try transferring the images to to disk, and then format the memory card in the camera. The card could be fragmented and a format should clear it up. It is also possible that the memory card has a "bad" area on it - in which case it is harder to load images from the card.

You could try a new card - but you might want to spring for a higher speed card than the generic types. A 30mb /sec rated card can give a nice performance boost without hitting the wallet too hard.

Hopefully, this helped! Good luck!

Sorry to say but this camera does not come with a internal memory with it, so you really need to get a memory card for it for you to use it.
Here;s the link for the complete specs of this camera.

You can copy pictures to/from internal memory by selecting Copy from the Setup menu.

Sounds like your computer or the software program you're using to download your pics is set to automatically erase the card after the download.

check your sd card, there's a tiny bar on the side that you can "slide" to unlock...

Your D40 has no internal memory. The camera can take a shot, and even show you the image on the LCD, but is not actually saved anywhere, unless a memory card is present. There is a way to prevent the camera from firing without a card. It is in the setup menus.

When you take pictures without the internal card , they get stored inside the camera internal memory (usually 8 or 16 MB only).

Connect the camera to a computer using a data cable, without putting any memory card inside the camera. The camera internal memory will be displayed as a new external usb disk on computer.
