Format the memory card. Press and hold the two [FORMAT] buttons until "For" blinks on the top display. Release the two buttons and then press the same two buttons again.

SOURCE: nikon D70 with brand new Sandik ultra11 2gb flash card error CHR

Go to the Nikon site and upgrade the firmware on your D70 to version 2.0.

Before doing that, try turning the camera off, wait a min, then back on. That sometimes clears the error. The D70 is having trouble reading the card(s) you're putting in. The upgrade fixes that.

unlock your card. you'll get that message when the SD card is locked. Lock the card only to prevent deleting photos from it. good luck!

SOURCE: Nikon D90 and memory card counter

There doesn't seem to be a problem. The 3.7k means 3700, the k meaning thousand. If you were to take about 2700 pictures, you'll then see 999, then 998, and so on.

Testimonial: "Thank you very much. I have this camera for 2 days and memory card over 2gb for 1 day, so I am very new to it"

Nikon D90 flashed CHR and next time using camera LCD was black/grey with stripes and no pics HELP!!!

The CRH error message means that the lock tab on your memory card is in the locked position. The purpose for the lock switch is to allow you to set your SD card so that you cannot accidently erase your valuable pictures. Remove your SD flash memory card from the camera and hold it in your hand with the label toward you and the angled corner to the upper right. Look on the left edge of the card and you will see a very small slider switch. Make sure the switch is in the fully up position then reinsert it in the D90. If the camera is not generating a false error, your camera should work correctly.

Memory access lamp continually blinks even when off...camera functions normally( as far as I can tell) but lamp drains battery even when off

This may be that your memory card has a fault and the camera is trying to write to it.
Can you try another memory card?
Memory cards can develop faults.
A memory card format in the camera may help but this will wipe all your photos.

CHA flashing on readout screen. Battery is fully charged. What does CHA mean?

If there are brackets around the CHR, it means the card is locked. SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card. If the switch is already in the proper position, slide it fully the other way and then back again.

If there are no brackets around the CHR, it means the camera cannot read your memory card. Try a different card.

Nikon D 70 issue

If you lost the manual for this camera can be downloaded from Nikon directly <a href="http://www.nikonusa.com/pdf/manuals/dslr/D70S_en.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>. The error message is discussed in detail on page 200. The CHR error you're seeing has to do with the memory card. It may be a simple as: it has no more free space to record more photos, or the card may not be formatted, or is damaged. Consult the manual for more tips and worst case, try replacing the card with a new one. Format it and try again. Good luck!

'This card cannot be used' error msg

If the correct memory is compact flash, many small fragile pins are in the socket.

If one or more of these pins was bent by the incorrect module,
then the correct memory cannot work again until the pin/pins
have been repaired.

Alternate soluton:
You might try removing all the batteries from the camera and
letting it sit for long enough to clear any temporary memory.

Don't forget any small button cell that might back up temporary
memory.

If the connectors are not damaged, the camera might be reset on a cold start up.
