More likely to be a card problem Andy have you tried another card?
Firmware has to downloade off of Nikon site www.nikon.co.uk

Scary stuff, have you taken the battery out for 30 sec and put it back in? Also there are two buttons on the camera to press for a reset.

Otherwise contact nikon.

Check you've not bent any pins in the card slot... If you have, then the pointy end of a metal propelling pencil can sometimes be used to very gently straighten them out again.

check the amount of pins that are there, one could have come out in a card

Hi all, after close inspection it looks like I have a bent pin!!!! And bent double somehow! Don't tink I can fix it, who can anyone reccommend???

Lehmanns are where i've had cameras fixed in the past. Service has always been good.

Fixation are very quick but I suspect it won't be cheap give them a call tehy can usually give you a quote over the phone or if your a Nikon NPS member they are very quick.
