it may be the internal processor..trouble is unless its a professional series unit..they are made to be disposable..I have a hp small digital that we used for years..it went dead last year..we just did get a new one for christmas..so I am learning it now..

Ri: It is almost certainly not a problem with the camera, most likely with the lens. Before you can look for a solution you must figure out what is causing the problem. If you only own the (1) lens you need to get access to another fairly new Nikon camera body & lens (whether from friends or just take your camera and lens to a local camera store)!!!!If you go to a store, don't initially waste your time to try to explain the problem to the counter staff. Ask to see another Nikon camera and lens..., then when this is provided, put their lens on your body..., if it works properly with out squealing this is great news (it's the lens not the camera)...., but make sure, just in case!!!! Put your lens on their body..., if it squeals and doesn't work properly you have now positively identified where the problem is located!!NOTE: IN MOST CASES IT IS THE LENS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE LENS IS THE 'KIT' LENS!!!If it is determined that the problem is the lens, how should you deal with it? First off..., is the camera and lens still inside the warranty period? If it is still inside the time frame..., you need to determine if the problem will covered by warranty. This is essential..., (the 18-55mm lens is not an overly expensive lens) as if you decide to send the lens off for warranty service and it is determined by the service station that the problem was 'user error' you will be stuck with shipping costs to and from supplier plus any parts and labour costs..., and if you say no to the repair you still are on the hook for an estimate fee!!!! (sorry for the doom & gloom)!!Avoid all this hassle..., in most cases this issue is caused by misalignment in the lens...., easy way to determine if this is the case!!! Place the lens (front element down) onto a smooth flat surface (remove caps, hoods & filters), then take a accurate ruler and measure from surface to the back of the lens mount!!! Take this measurement at several points around the lenses circumference. If all measurements are the same it's an internal problem and most likely covered by warranty. If you are getting different measurements..., then you will be told the lens has received an impact, don't waste your time or money trying to get it fixed..., you can buy one of these lenses used for $50.00 to 75.00 CDN. Cheaper that what the repair and shipping cost will be!!Hope this helpsPeter

PLEASE see the test and fix it. God bless you 1. Camera won't record photos. Make sure you've selected a photography mode with your camera, rather than a playback mode or a video mode. If your camera's battery power is low, the camera might not be able to record photos. Additionally, if your camera's internal memory area or your Memory card is full, the camera won't record any more photos. With some cameras, the internal software only allows a certain number of photos to be recorded on a single memory card because of how the software numbers each photo. Once the camera hits its limit, it won't save any more photos. (This problem is more likely to occur when an older camera is paired with a new, large memory card.) The battery is the root of most common digital camera issues. Though battery life has been extended as battery and digital camera technologies evolve, no battery lasts forever. When your batteries begin to run out, sometimes your camera responds in wacky ways that may not seem connected. The flash may not come on, the autofocus won't engage as quickly as it did before or the LCD screen will power off intermittently. All of your camera's responsiveness is linked to its battery strength. Change batteries and try to recreate a problem; odds are you won't be able to. It's a good idea to carry a backup battery for cameras that use lithium-ion cells or a pack of spares for cameras that use AA. Watch your battery icon for a general idea of

You don't need a driver.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 any photo transfer/catalog program such as Nikon Transfer ( http://support.nikontech.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/61 ) or Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

Do you have a specific question about the D600 video?

Which video setting? Some of them are in the Custom Menu settings under g:, some are in the Shooting Menu under Movie Settings.
