If the image wont show on the back of camera then it sounds like you need to format the SD card in camera, not computer, and try again.  
If the corrupt image situation persists then you need to try a new card.   

If it happens with a new card then you may have a problem with the camera electronics so it will need a visit to Nikon.

The images show up perfectly on the camera - it was the forum which gives out the corrupted image message. When I used a graphics package other than GIMP it worked especially with the Blue Cross option.

OK. I thought that you were having problems with the camera.

Bob …

I’ve sent you a PM. But in case you missed it….You might like to remove one of the images posted of the package. They show your address details….. to the whole world.8-)

Bob / Eric, I have marked them as private images so they don't show as recent on the left of the home screen, nor in the slideshow on the splash page. They are still in Bob's gallery.

I wondered if there would be an easier solution. 

That’s why they pay you half a crown more than me. :bowing:

Bob, what computer OS are you using Windows, Mac or Linux.
Are you happy with results from GIMP?  There are some very fine softwares around that are free and possibly a lot more intuitive than GIMP.  Understand that this may be a change.:doh:

A couple of things after our PM chat regarding the squirrel image.
It’s not as sharp as it could be. Was it taken through window glass and if so were you perpendicular to the glass ? Even a slight angle through window glass can lose a lot of definition.

I notice you had f16 on the lens. Whilst recognising close objects sometimes require smaller apertures to get everything in focus, I was not a fan of going beyond f11 with my Sigma lens. Even with recalibration it went soft after f11. 
I would try some tests at f5.6/f8 of static subjects to see if sharpness improves.

I couldnt see what ISO you used. Keeping ISO as low as lighting and subject allow again helps with definition.


With regard to dust. I’ve never been troubled by a bit of dust in a lens. But dust on the sensor can show up as spots on an image at small apertures. The best way to check for sensor dust is to take a photo of a plain* white or light wall at f16 or f22. You will see dust bunnies when you review the image if the sensor needs cleaning.

* I once started to clean my sensor on seeing a couple of “dots” on my screen before realising the wife had previously stuck a poster on the wall with drawing pins.

 I have developed a habit of trying to remove natural marks…just spent a day pressure washing the front of the house including a few wasted minutes trying to remove……….shadows of the telephone line :needsahug:
