I have a new camera that was doing the same thing. A red dot appeared in the same location on the photos, easily visible on dark photos taken of the night sky for eg.
I have an Olympus - went to the Olympus website and discovered Pixel Mapping which is a feature on new digital SLR's. After running the Pixel Mapping feature in my menu, the red dot disappeared. This is apparently quite common, but should not happen in a new camera - I'll be calling Olympus to find out why.
From what I've read on other websites, however, if your camera does not have this feature (check your manual), this would have to be done by the camera manufacturer.
Hope this helps - although the answer is out-dated!

When I want to take a photo, the monitor is blank, rather than showing what I am pointing the camera at. Last time I used it, it was ok... what has gone wrong? Thanks
If the D40 monitor showed you the image while taking the picture, there was something seriously wrong with the camera, which now appears to have fixed itself.

The D40 works as SLRs have worked for half a century, giving you the image through the viewfinder. The LiveView capability, allowing you to use the LCD monitor like a point&shoot camera, is a relatively new development, which Nikon introduced with the D3 and D300 a year after the D40.

Monitor screen can not appear photos before shooting
That's the way the D40 works. The monitor is for menus and picture review, not to show images before shooting. Nikon introduced the LiveView capablitily with the D3 and the D300, introduced after the D40. The D40 works as SLRs have worked for half a century, giving you the image through the viewfinder.

You don't. The D40 works as SLRs have worked for half a century. Only more recent dSLRs (Nikon started with the D3 and D300) have the LiveView capability that lets you handle your dSLR as a point&shoot.

My Nikon D40 LCD Screen doesn't show a live view when on, but it does show menu options, photos taken, etc. Do you have any thoughts on how to see a live pic, instead of taking pics only with view finder?
the d40 does not have live view. you would need to get a different camera.

Tiny black dots and a hairline mark now appear on all my photos using a Nikon D40
You might have to have your sensor cleaned. When the camera body is exposed to excessive amount of dust they can get in the mirror housing. When the shutter opens and the mirror flips out the way when a photo is taken, it aggitates the dust then it falls on the sensor. It will need to professionally cleaned by a repair technician.

To test it is dust, take a few photos of a white wall at aperture f22 with the flash on and if they are all consistant that is problem. They will look like soft black blobs.

Red line on every photo taken with Nikon D40
And your question was?
A new CCD for £128 - that is a total bargain. If you think you can buy a camera half as good as the D40 for RM750 you are deluded... although I agree that the CCD shouldn't have gone in such a short time - I would guess that Nikon UK would have repaired it on good faith - as long as the camera was obviously in otherwise good condition.

Nikon D40, how to display the date.
Bring up the photo on the camera. Press up or down until you get the histogram (yellow graph). When you get this, press up once, and look at the bottom of the screen.

Nikon F50 photos 'grayed out' (both negatives and film) - what might be the problem? hi, recently a few of my photos keep turning gray (sort of without any contrast, like with a gray filter). I use Nikon F50 and the problem is visible both in the film and the negatives but not on consecutive photos nor can I find any correlation between the photo being 'gray' and lighting. Please let me know what the problem might be and how to fix it. thank you!
