Outlines/highlights appear on the lcd screen after taking a photo.

Just bought myself a new d40, for the first few weeks it was working well. Then i changed my information display from classic to graphic mode, but then on everytime i take pictures theirs this highhlight or an outline around the pictures appearing on the lcd. But if I transffer the pictures from the memory card to my computer, the pictures i took came out well. It's just that the highlights appeared on the lcd screen everytime i take a picture which annoys me.

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.

Lcd display not working on nikon d40. When we turn on the camera, and take off the lens cap, the lcd display is black. we can use the viewfinder to take a photo. We can view the image after taking the...

The D40 works the same way SLRs have worked for the past half century. Only recently have dSLRs acquired a "Live-View" capability, where you see the image on the LCD monitor instead of through the viewfinder.

I realize this probably wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but that's the way it is.

My camera will not take multiple shots

Ok, what you need to do is look at the top of your camera, around that smaller LCD screen. On the right side of the screen, you will see a button with three boxes stacked on top of each other.

You need to press that button until it displays the same icon in the TOP RIGHT corner of the smaller LCD screen right next to the button you are pressing.

That button switches the camera from Single shot mode to Multiple shot mode ( as well as a few other modes).

Hey timrowan,
What you’re seeing is your playback mode is set to highlight, which flashes all the highlights (bright areas) of your images that are overexposed. If you don't like this viewing option you should be able to change your viewing mode by pressing mutiselector button to the right or left until you get to normal viewing. I hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Allan

Dose the video out look the same as if it does then you have a faulty ccd processor or lcd itself is bad. It may be time for a new camera.
