- 1). Replace the Nikon D60 EN-EL9 battery with a freshly charged battery. Low power causes many error messages.
- 2). Remove the SD memory card and replace it with a freshly formatted card. An improperly formatted or full card can cause camera errors. If you are using a smaller card, try switching to a smaller image format, such as basic JPEG, to prevent full memory errors from occurring.
- 3). Check the aperture setting on the lens. Older lenses with a variable, non-digital aperture require the aperture be set to the smallest setting possible for the lens to function with the camera body. While the D60 is compatible with Nikon's F-mount range of lenses, remember that some older lenses have reduced functions when being used with a D60 body.
- 4). Remove and reseat the lens. An incorrectly seated lens will cause errors. Press the lens release button while holding the camera body and lens firmly, then turn gently until the lens is removed. After checking for dust and dirt, align the white dots on the camera with the dot on the lens and insert the lens into the mount.
- 5). Check for dust and dirt on the mirror surfaces inside the camera and on the glass of the lens. If you find dust, clean the lens gently with a static free cloth and clean the mirror surface with a soft, dust free brush and cleaning bulb. Do not use compressed air on either surface as this will damage the camera.
