Try a que tip with rubbing alcohol into the battery compartment of the 300s. Rub the terminals with the moistened que tip gently and look for dirt, dust, debris in the compartment.

Hi Given its age - almost 10 years now, while you don't want drama you can expect them. I had same probs with a Sony - green and yellow lines - then later on a horizontal split in the pics - with the bottom out of alignment with the top. Nikon should be able to quote for a repair - its a quality, full frame camera worth a proper repair. Despite its now small size 12 meg sensor it will still beat a lot of today's cameras in the hands of a good photographer. Cheers Mike

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.

hi Jfurbees. this is all i could think off just to help you out in till you can get it fixed. I don't have a permanent fix, but one thing that works is folding up a small piece of paper and holding it over the memory card while closing the cover so that the cover pushes on the paper which holds the memory card in place automatically when the cover is closed. You just have to experiment to get the folded paper the right size and thickness. Again, its not a fix, but it has worked for me. I shone a really bright light into the SD slot and sure enough, behind the gold springs at the bottom of the card slot, was a tiny black sliver of plastic that moved slightly when I tipped the camera. About 3mm long. I removed the camera battery. Then I got a big long sewing needle, and with some very gentle manouvering, so as not to scratch anything inside the camera's SD slot, it fell out just when I was about to give up. After I'd got the plastic sliver out, I trimmed the splintered edge of the SD card and put it back in this is not to say it will work for you but give it a try but this will be at your own risk.

The bottom plate could have been replaced at some point.

If it's inbetween the lens elements, there's no way you can get at it. It would have to be taken apart by a service facility recommended by the manufacturer.

This often depends on the shooting mode you are using. It is often on a selection wheel. Say you are in Fireworks mode the flash will not fire. If you get out of a special mode back into normal camera I am pretty sure your flash will not be greyed out.

I am confused. All I can suggest is trying a DIFFERENT SD card.

Remove the lens cap. Yeah, I know, I know. But you'd be surprised.

maybe U change the firmware or version on the software or in the camera .

First, you shouldn't take pictures in the raw mode unless you have the software on your computer that can read it and convert it. Second, the camera appears to be defective...it's new so why not take it back?

do a master reset, holding WB and ISO buttons down together for more than two seconds will reset camera settings. then replace the clock battery, let it sit with no batteries for a bit. try to plug it into an external power supply: EH6 if you have one. i have had most every digital nikon having shot them since the D1 rolled out, and have never had one just crash and die. I hope this helps, good luck and sorry.

Have you tried using a different lens ?

The pictures are blurry due to camera shake, which in itself is caused by the slow shutter speed. Try using shake reduction setting. To increase the shutter speed, raise the ISO rating.

See if you can reset the electronics and restore the unit to factory defaults. If no result and if Nikon does not have a hidden code to fix situation you will either have to live with the situation, replace the camera, fix the camera (not cost effective.) Your choice.

I have no experience with this shop, but it seems okay. Shopit 0705 784477 Nikon dealer in Nairobi Kenya

use high quality speed card. secondly every camera company shows you bright picture because they want to cell their product with bright screen. so if you are a photographer then you ahve to use screen brightness and darkness in camera keep it on -2 setting

switch button got damage due to hard press so you need to replace it

If lens continues to work in your D90, then the issue is with your D7000 camera. U might want to contact Nikon to see if there is some sort of reset available for the electronics. Also make sure that lens contacts are clean and free of dirt, etc.

If you did not set write protect on the card before you attached it to the computer, it may have got corrupted. If you are sure all the images are backed up, format the card in the camera.
