I found that the battery compartment and battery on the D60
are made pretty snug. Any swelling of
the battery at all-it may not even be visible to the naked eye compared to
another battery-will make the battery wedge in there. My D60 has a little rubberized plastic door
toward the outside edge of the camera that hides a screw head. Flip that door
open, and carefully use a sharp object to slowly press the battery out. Otherwise, glue an object to the end of the
battery as a handle. Once dried, pull the battery out. Don\'t worry about ruining the battery. You probably want to buy a new one as that
battery is likely to always wedge in there from now on. Once you have a new battery, pay attention to
the resistance as you insert it. There
should be no resistance at first, then there should be a little notch of
resistance, and finally it should then easily slide right in the rest of the
way to bounce on the springs. If you
feel constant resistance all the way in, you can be assured that it\'s going to eventually
have difficulties coming out of there one of these days. At that point, it\'s time for a new battery or
be prepared to have trouble getting it out.

I cant see how that can be possible unless the battery has swollen due to heat.
Make sure any latches are held open and tap base of camera onto your hand (over a mat on the table in case battery falls out). Also try to attach sticky tape to side of battery (if enough space to slide some in) and pull on it.
It seems VERY unlikely that it is stuck, are you sure you didn't miss a latch?
I hope I have been of help but please do not hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.
I appreciate your vote if you appreciate my reply.

How do I remove the battery out of My NIkon D60?

Open the battery cover by sliding the latch toward the center of the camera and flipping the lid up. Holding the other side of the camera, lightly slam the end with the open battery compartment against the cupped palm of your other hand and the battery should slide out a little. Grasp the battery and pull it out the rest of the way.

Nikon D60 "Press shutter release button again". Camera "stuck" and not working.

Remove the battery and let the camera sit for a few minutes. Reinsert the battery and turn the camera on. If the error persists, then consult with a Nikon-authorized service representative.

Nikon d60 - error. turn camera off and on again.

Locate the button behind the shutter release button with the green dot next to it. Locate the button at the back lower hand side of the D60 with the green dot next to it. Press both buttons at the same time.........This resets the D60 to its original settings and should resolve the problem.....

Error Message

Try to take off the battery and reset the camera. You can also try to remove the lens and check the mirror opening..see if there is some thing stuck there. You can try to click the shutter while the lens is removed. If this procedure didn't work I suggest calling Nikon for further repairs.

Nikon D60 transfer problem

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use Nikon Transfer or any other photo cataloging program.

Need to take battery cover for my nikon d60 to install battery grip...how do i remove it?

No tools required! It simply snaps out. Open the battery door so it's at 90 degrees to the body and unsnap the pins where it pivots in the body. If you look closely, you'll see there is enough clearance for the pivot pins to snap out of its holders.

D60 won't turn on

Nikon told me to remove battery, remove SD card, remove lens and then hold the shutter button down for 30 seconds. If the Also sometimes the contact between the lens and body is not quite perfect and removing and replacing the lens hleps. If not it has a 1 year warranty, return to them with the exact error message (even if the problem is just intermittant) and they can usually find and fix the problem if the above things do not do the trick.
