I never said I was cool. Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 i'll be sure to mess around with the white balance now. do you ever have a problem with the lens autofocusing and instead just toggles up and down? If the lens just keeps going back and forth but wont lock onto anything it's ussually because you are too close to what you're trying to snap a picture of, back upa little and see what happens. You can just flick the switch on the side of those nikkor lens and put it into manual. With some other lens you have to switch it in the camera to manual. Also, if you look through the lens you see three little squares. Those are your focus points (they're also there for the exposure points when using the built in light meter). But for focus, just use the little selector (joy stick) thing on the back to highlight which one you want to use (I don't know the correct name for it, it's the cross thing with the "ok" in the middle). You might have it set to focus on the right or left side, while you're lookign at something in the middle and it's trying to focus on a different place then what you want.

GnomeToys Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 If all else fails with the white balance, shoot RAW and process in Lightroom, Silkypix, or whatever converter Nikon ships with their cameras, then you can correct it to a known white. If that's still coming out cyan you can be sure its the monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBchit Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 thanks for giving in the input but i know it's not that. to fix the problem i have to detach the lens from the body and reattach it then it focuses fine. just wanted to see if i wasn't the only one with a d60 that did this.

I never said I was cool. Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Is there anything obstructing those seven little contact points between the lens and the camera body? I don't know for sure, but I think it's safe to assume that those contact are what send the information from the camera to the lens. Do you have to take the lens off after each picture? You might want to take your camera to a shop and ask to try out another lens (just pretend you're in the market for a new lens)... and see if the camera still does it. If not then you know it's the lens, if it does then it's most likely your camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
