Nowadays, some camera mfrs are protecting their equipment by ensuring that no third-party batteries can be used (presumably by incorporating some kind of firmware check). They say that using generic batteries will invalidate your warranty. You may have to spend the extra and get an own-brand battery, which should solve the problem - hopefully.

The fault could be either defective batteries or a defective camera. All you can do is to try a full initial battery charge (24 hours) and if that doesn't work return the camera to the retailer for a refund or exchange.

This battery cannot used Choose battery designated for use in this camera

You probably bought a battery that's not original and is not decoded. Nikon uses coded reading of batteries, so you can't put any battery in it.
If it's an original battery with a certificate on it, you should contact your nearest Nikon store.

I am having a Nikon D60 DSLR Camera. I am using it for more than 3 year now when I am loading the battery in the body. The message says "This battery cannot be used. Choose battery designated for used...

Your battery may be worn out and is unable to get re-charged. Buy a new battery for your camera, or try your battery in a matching camera to verify that it is depleted, if so try a new/other battery in your camera to verify that you need a new battery.

Camera wont turn on: lens error, restart camera

Hi there,

Your problem is common to that model and actually to most of camera models. Usually it has foreign materials interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. It's also possible that the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension which eventually damaged gears or other parts. You should also check if your battery has enough power to supply the lens mechanism, easy way to find out is to use a new charged or brand new battery.

If you are still under warranty, I suggest to bring you camera to the store or service center. If not then here are some things that you can do to try to correct it. I hope it will work for you.

Regards,
Jeep Brainy

On Camera Flash Problem and Lens Question

According to Pentax, the pop up flash does greatly reduce battery life. So, if you want them to last longer, use an external flash. The built-in flash is too low powered an too prone to produce red eyes to be of much use anyway. Any lens that goes from 28-300 is going to be much less sharp than one with a shorter zoom range, even if the lens designer uses such heroic measures as aspherical elements and LD glass. Consider the Tokina AT-X 24-200mm f/3.5-5.6 lens as a very good alternative to the Tamron.
