Top 20 Nikon D80 Digital Camera with 18-135mm Lens Questions & Answers

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

Format the SD cards with the camera. You might have to do a software upgrade on the camera since the Kodak card files are different than Nikons.

That's all very nice, but what is your actual query ?

If you are using an older lens the aperture ring will be close to the camera body when the lens is on the camera. In order to set the aperture with a D80 and older lens you must set the aperture ring to "22" or the highest number on the aperture ring available. For newer lenses there is no aperture ring. You set the aperture by setting the dial on the top left of the D80 to "A" for Aperture Priority. You then set the aperture by rotating the front dial on the right side of the camera under the shutter release button. On older lenses, after setting the aperture ring to the highest number, you then set the aperture in the same manner.

What lens do you have on the camera? The F-- indicates that the camera is unable to communicate with the lens. If the lens has the electronics to communicate with the camera, try cleaning the contacts on the back of the lens and on the camera body. If the lens is a manual lens, set the camera to the Manual exposure mode (turn the mode dial to "M").

The up and down arrows on the multi-function button on the back of the camera set the image on the display. With the display on, press the up or down arrow to function through the display settings and the stop on the one you want. This often happens when you accidentally hit one of the arrow buttons while taking the picture and this changes the display image to the histogram or other display setting.

The Nikon D-90 users manual says on page 256 that the ERR message indicates a camera malfunction and that it can be cleared by releasing the shutter. I've found on my D-90 that the only way I can get the shutter to release is my turning the camera off. When I turn it back on the ERR message is gone and the camera functions as it should. Occasionally, I have had to remove and reinstall the battery to make the camera turn off but this happens only rarely. The users manual says if the condition occurs frequently or persists that you should contact a Nikon authorized repair center. I suggest that you contact Nikon tech support at www.nikon.com to see what they suggest. I think this information would apply to the D-80 as well.

It is an indication that the camera is shooting in burst mode (multiple shots with one button push) and that you can shoot five more shots before the camera must pause, clean its cache and be prepared to shoot again.

Make sure you are not in bulb time mode.

The ERR message indicates a camera malfunction. In my D-90 manual it says that it can be cleared by releasing the shutter. The only way to do that is to turn the camera off and back on. Rarely, that won't work and you have to remove and reinstall the battery. The manual also says that it this have frequently or persist to contact a Nikon authorized service center. I would contact Nikon tech support at www.Nikon.com and discuss the problem them before contacting an authorized service center.

I occasionally get an ERR message on my D-90 but when this happens, I can't get anything to work. I fix it by turning the camera off and back on. You probably have already had it repaired by now, but before I would send mine in, I would have first replaced the SD card on the possibility that it was somehow corrupted. if that didn't help, I'd contact Nikon support and see what they might have to say. Nikon support does not have an outstanding reputation but I have found them very helpful when I've had problems. It's worth a try.

The Flash Mode button is at the side of the camera with the mode dial wheel. If you look from there towards the lens you will find a small button with the typical arc icon. Press the Flash Mode button until the display shows the flash icon with a line across it. You may find more help in the Owner's Manual which you can find here: http://www.nikonusa.com/pdf/manuals/dslr/D80_en.pdf

On my D-90 "F--" indicates that the lens is not communicating with the camera body. It could be because of dirty contacts or another problem. One solution that has been effective for others is to hold the lenses release button down and rotate the lens in place 10 or more times as a way to clean the contacts. If that doesn't work, try contacting Nikon tech support at www.nikon.com to see what they may suggest.

Do you have a lens collimator and other equipment needed to ensure proper alignment when reassembling the lens? If not, take the lens to a reputable camera shop and have a properly trained and equipped professional do the cleaning.
