My camera used to take pictures fast, so I know there has to be a probelm now. When I try to take pictures, I will hear a spinning noise with my lens or the camera motor (new to the SLR stuff) and well, I'm not sure what happened. (I'm hoping I messed with the menu by mistake). I have to press the shutter button about 4 times until it will take a picture. This is both outside during the day without a flash and inside with a flash, so it can't be a low light issue (I wouldn't think). My memory card is great and my battery is charged. Is my camera faulty?
There is a buffer in your camera that processes your images for storage on your memory card. The larger the file size, the more the buffer is being used per image. That will slow down your image transfer.
Also, memory cards are not just about the size of the memory card. It's very about about transfer rate. Once the buffer is ready to send the image to the card, the card has to be able to accept the MB quickly. If your card has a transfer rate of less than 255, it's going to be slow, especially with larger images.
Are you pressing the shutter button half-way and allowing the camera to lock in the focus before pressing the rest of the way?

same thing has happened to me, only bottom half of the picture displayed and same message comes up. It looks like my best bet is to talk to Nikon about it. Thank you.

I had exactly the same problem, i tried everything,battery out, sd card out , lens off etc...nothing worked.Completely by chance and irritation i repeatedly pressed the shutter butten over and over
( without the lens attached ) till it didn't react at all.On my LCD i got a normal menu so i put the lens on and bingo it was fixed, still works fine.I think maybe the shutter was out of alignment.
Hope this works for you.

I just hit the bottom softly with my palm until it made a noise like the shutter was readjusting and now works with no problems!
SOURCE: Pictures too dark. Shutter operating too slowly.
Are you in auto mode? If it is manual then it is possible that the settings are not correct for the light. You can look at the meter to see what the camera thinks about the exposure.
It sounds as if your subject is too dark. Does this happen when the area is brightly lit? Does the flash fire?
SOURCE: can you use nikon sb25 flash with d40 dslr?
You can but with limitations;
