New Nikon D60 with intermittent LCD display

I have had this camera for just a few days. The eye sensor on the back of this camera is very sensitive to bright light, and when I use it outdoors, just the ambient light will cause the LCD screen to flicker on and off making the display unuseable. When I search the internet, many people (but not all) are having this problem.

Your camera is not defective. It is not damaged.

The reflective light plays tricks with the optical eye sensor.

Go into your menu and turn off the auto off function. Fixed.

If you like the auto off function and don't feel like jumping through hoops to turn it off every time you go outdoors, setup your function button to do it with a single click.

If you have this problem, the camera is 'defective'. Nikon repair center in New York will need to recalibrate the TTL eye sensor as they did to mine and fixed mine. Ambient light should not make the screen flicker, only should turn off when you bring it to your face. If people think turning off this function is acceptable, then you should have bought a D40x.

hahaha this is guy is from CANON he was just trying to ruin nikons credibility ... obviously he is clicking the shutter button to switch off the LCD... please make a video again holding the camera with your left hand!

I guess you know how to make the LCD flicker several times within seconds by clicking the shutter button. I want to see you do a video of how you can do this.

You know what else, I love Canon so much that I purposely spent $700 to buy this Nikon D60 so I can do this video on Youtube. Oh well, at least you gave me a good laugh.

Read my comment below....send it to Nikon repair center for repair and they will fix it for free if it's under warranty (1 year). Go to Nikon website and look for their contact number to call and speak to their customer service rep.

DUDE! your D60s LCD menus are way different to mine

[andrehellm13]

the eye sensor is the problem. i have a d60 and your modes are doing just fine. just the eye sensor thinks its been blocked. you should get it cleaned or repaired on a nikon repair center.

That's just the help function. The camera always helps you adjust a setting so your pictures turn out good :)

I have this on my D60 but only since using the 16-85mm lens fitted to it. I have had no issues indoor or out with the Kit lens or 50mm and this flickering.

I'm not a pro in those cameras but I don't know if you have noticed that there's a question mark that's blinking in the lower left og the screen, maybe there's a troublechooting system in the camera that will make u understand where the problem is...
