Troubleshoot A Nikon 90







The D90 is an award-winning digital camera.


The D90 is a type of digital SLR camera produced by the Japanese manufacturer Nikon. The camera won the TIPA European Photo & Imaging "Best D-SLR Advanced" award in 2009 and is a popular digital camera model. If something goes wrong with your D90 camera, it can be frustrating, but by following a few simple steps you should be able to troubleshoot common problems. Fixing or establishing the cause of the problem should only take a few minutes.


Instructions


1. Try the basics first. Check that the camera is turned on by turning the on/off dial near the shutter-release button to the "On" position. Make sure the lens cap is removed and not covering the end of the lens, and that a digital memory card with available space is inserted in the camera. If the memory card is full, the camera will not be able to take any more pictures and will display an error message telling you to make room on your existing card or insert one with available space.








2. Remove the battery and recharge it. If the battery is dead, the camera will not work. If the battery does not hold a charge or does not provide power it could be damaged. A faulty battery will not give power to the camera even if it has been charged. If you have a spare battery, try it instead. If not, consider replacing the battery.


3. Check that the lens is correctly connected. To make sure you are attaching a lens correctly, line up the printed dots on the lens and on the body of the camera and rotate counter-clockwise. The lens will click when properly connected. Check that the switch on the side of the lens is set to "AF" if you plan on using auto-focus.


4. Reset the camera if you lose control of the cameras settings. For example, you might adjust the shutter speed and aperture but be unsure return them to default mode. Hold down the "+/-" and the "AF" buttons on the back of the camera for a few seconds. The buttons should have green dots printed next to them. The LCD screen on the top of the camera will flash to indicate that the reset has been successful.


5. Take the camera to a professional. If the previous steps do not clear the problem or give an indication of what it is, send the camera to be repaired. Depending on when you purchased the camera, you may be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
