Restore factory settings for the camera nikon d90

SOURCE: cannot get ml-l3 remote control to work on nikon D90.

The two batteries are the ones in the remote? Make sure they are installed correctly. The camera will need to have a decently charged battery as well. Put the camera in P mode, pop up the flash and allow to charge. Make sure you pre-focus the camera on one subject or near the subject. The remote is supposed to focus the camera, but the camera may not fire if it cannot focus or if it needs the flash.

And most importantly make sure you are setting the camera drive button to remote so the camera knows to work off the remote. This button is in the upper right hand side on top and you will press the button and turn the control dial until the remote symbol appears. The remote should be pointed at the camera and will work best if you point it at the remote sensor on the front right side. make sure the strap or nothing else is obscuring the sensor.

If non of this helps, you may have a bad remote. Contact your retailer for a replacement

There is an almost certainty that your mirror and shutter is going to experience problems in the future. Any fall of that nature is SURE to jar the shutter and the mirror very badly. The shutter is probably damaged already. Go out in the bright sun and shoot on shutter priority at the highest shutter speed (I think the 90 is 4000 /s?) and see if the shutter makes a stuttering noise...Also go into your menu and set the mirror to "Lock up" (for cleaning purposes), if both of these things work ok, you should be ok for a while. But do not depend on the camera for anything really important such as weddings unless you have a backup camera...

You just found the Nikon D90 F-- error message solution!
I had the same problem with the Nikon d90 F-- error message which drove me nuts!
I called Nikon, they walked me through a lengthy reset procedure which didn't work. After spending a few hours researching online, I found the answer.
It is not the memory card or nor a defective camera body. The lens does not need to be rechipped.
The F-- error means the camera is unable to communicate with the lens and is caused by a poor connection between the ground contact pin on the lens and the metal mounting ring on the camera. Most people buy the camera, install the lens once and then encounter the error. This one time lens installaiton does not give the contact point a chance to seat itself properly. You will find that if you hold down the lens release button and twist the lens as if to remove and reinstall the lens about 10 times that the problem will disappear. You don't even have to actually pull the lens away from the body, just press the release button and twist on and off and allow the friction to provide a better electrical contact.
Too bad Nikon doesn't tell their customers about this simple fix. Other than that, great camera. Good luck.

SOURCE: Nikon D90 ERR message after taking picture -

I have the same problem like you. I take 3 photos with my Nikon D80 and this message came out : ERR ... I have NO idea what should I do ? ! Please help me... Lucas

SOURCE: My Nikon d90 monitor does not display when I turn it on.

By default the D90 is set to use the viewfinder for framing and taking pictures. If you wish to disable that and use the monitor, press the "LV" button on the back just above the multiselector.
