Quick Start - Nikon D60 Manuals

No doubt you're eager to start taking pictures with your new D60. Don't want to read
the whole book just to start taking pictures? Then this is the section for you! You'll learn
the basics of your camera and how to start taking good pictures. It covers everything
from charging the battery and inserting the memory card to composing and reviewing
images.
If you're already familiar with SLR cameras and would like to starting learning in detail
about the various options and controls of the D60, you may prefer to skip past this
introductory section and start with Part 1.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO GET STARTED?
● D60
●
Charged battery
● Lens
● Memory card
CHARGING THE BATTERY
To set up the charger attach the charger cord to the charger and plug in the cord. To
insert the battery into the charger, hold the battery with the side that says Nikon facing
up. Slide the battery into the charger so the end with the triangle goes into the charger
first. The battery fits completely inside the charger. An orange light on the top of the
charger will start blinking continuously. When the charge is complete the light will stay
a solid orange. It'll take about 90 minutes to fully charge the battery.
INSERTING THE BATTERY
● Make sure the camera is off before inserting the battery.
● The door to the battery compartment is on the bottom of the camera.
Push the lever on the compartment door toward the center of the cam-
era. If you do this while holding the camera upright the door will drop
down, opening the compartment.
