How to fix a scan disk I/O error, it won't let me view my photos

Check your lens for fingerprinst on the rear element

Use natural light or a ring flash. An onboard or mounted flash will alway produce a short distance shadow.

Try to load Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 from Nikon sites.

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

If you're viewing the photo on the D60, press cursor-up/down to cycle through the different views of the photo. Those views will show you the various settings.
If you're viewing the photo in Nikon CaptureNX2, select the picture or double-click on it. You'll see the information in the Metadata tab.
If you're viewing the photo in another program, please refer to the documentation for that program. Look under "metadata".

Try re-installing the Nikon transfer software on your computer. Have you also just tried using the computer's image software to transfer images (or just copy and paste from the camera to the desktop)?

The Nikon D5000 must be set in "Live View" mode before you can use the rear monitor to take photos. There is a button that says "LV" to the right of the LCD screen that sets Live View to on or off.

Yes, but you can't fully recover what's underneath. Once those pixels were not recorded, they're gone.

Use any photo editing program. It's the same process as for editing out anything else undesirable in the photo.
