  well, do you have a years warrenty on your camera. It's absolutely customary to have at least a year warrenty that comes with the camera from the manufacturer. If you just bought it last week you may have 14 days to return it. so just return it if you can. otherwise take it back where you got it and get them to send it to nikon to get worked on for free. if they won't then get the number fro nikon and call them directly and they will tell you what to do and where to send it to get worked on. After all of that and you get your camera back then you can buy a seperate 3 year warrenty for your camera or get insurance on it in case something else happens to it. some of the things I had to do for mine. hope this helps.

  Actually P.S. the warranty for a Nikon camera purchased in Italy may be quite different from the warranty for a Nikon camera purchased in the U.S. Italian warranties may fall under the gray market categories.

Two things you can try. First, take it back to the dealer you bought it from, assuming it was a Nikon dealer, and ask them to either show you how to fix this problem or exchange it for one that doesn't have the problem.

Or, contact Nikon service in the USA directly and tell them the problem and where you're located. I'm sure they'll give you some place to get it straightened out. Here's a link for you to follow:

Take it light.

  Pradeep, you have changed everything, but you didn't mention that you changed the media card. Perhaps the card is not firmly seated or is defective.

By the way, the images in your gallery are very nice.

John
