D40 Newbie needs help
      #664486 - 08/06/2008 17:13

There is probably a really obvious solution to this - maybe I've pressed too many buttons...
First few times I got the camera out it was great but today when I switch on my D40 all seems well, auto focus ok but if I press the shutter (in auto or other mode) I hear the shutter move but then see Err in the viewfinder and get a 'press the shutter again' message on the LCD , I do and this returns the shutter but no image recorded.
Is this me or the camera or both?

Hi,
In my D60 Manual it has the Err asking you to depress the shutter again and if that don't sort it contact your local Nikon dealer.
This is probably the same for yours as you've stated as much.

There is a reset switch on the D60 which should be on the D40 also, Which is used to reset the camera but you will loose anything not written to the card it resets the camera to default settings and the clock/Date will need to be set again.

Lookup in your user manual index "Reset Switch" and see what it says..;)

Have to tried removing the Card & Battery and popping em back in again to see if that cures her tantrum ??

It's gotta hurt your Nikon not working properly....

Try switching camera off, remove and then replace the lens, switch back on and re-format the memory card in the camera. If you still get the error message .... oh dear :-(
