I'm thinking it might be related to the dark corner issue. I noticed more than one reviewer complained about this and there are photos posted up in the customer photo section illustrating this issue. I was going to purchase this camera myself until I saw this potential problem. For example:http://www.amazon.com/review/R1HXQU9INW3I2T/ref=cm_aya_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B005TGKX9S#wasThisHelpful

I would say try to find a way to reset the camera to all it's default settings to see if it was just something silly you pressed/touched. If that doesn't work, check your return policy. Other than that.....um....try a hammer.

Go to the camera menu and then to settings. Maybe the brightness and contrast are too high. If not is not fixing it I would call Swann tech support at 1800 627-2799. they are open 24/7. If they can not fix it they will replace it if is still within warranty. Good luck

My camera wasn't grey market. It was Nikon USA. Still having troubles with viewfinder focus. Camera is being repaired for the 3rd time. I have a feeling it still won't work properly.

My D40 developed a blurry line in the middle of the viewfinder after about 2 months (or maybe it just took me 2 months to notice it). It doesn't affect the photos, just the viewfinder, but it is a little annoying at times. I'm guessing it's a warp or something like that in the focusing screen. Since I take most of my photos in the Summer and Fall, I don't want to part with it for another couple of months, but after that I plan on sending it in to Nikon to have them check it out while it's still under warranty. It really hasn't been a big deal, and the camera is great in spite of it, but I would like to make sure it's not going to get worse.

Same thing is happening to me. Was taking pictures one minute, next minute, went to black screen. No abuse to camera. This stinks. Will try reinstalling software. Take care.Janice

Hey, I don't have the same problem after connecting to a computer. But when I'm in review mode and delete a photo/video and turn off the camera directly without going back to camera mode, I've noticed that the screen stays on, but black and none of the buttons, not even power, will work. You just have to simply remove the front cover, take out the battery and put it back in. I've had to do this 3 times thus far and it's not a consistently occurring problem, but the solution works every time.

I would suggest that you finish installing all 4 camera's and see what you got then. Check the connections. If there is not enough light it will appear B&W otherwise it should be in color

Yes, i am using the multi out for power. I have noticed with this camera a vertical line that moves left to right. I thought maybe the power source, but tried a different one at 1 ampand still there. Doesn't affect picture quality tho. Maybe someone else has a fix for the vertical line?

I have not seen this issue with my camera. I have experimented with all of the various video settings and could not create this. Make sure you have enough lighting.

I'm having this issue, too. Camera seems to get confused and the whole frame becomes blurry rather than focusing on the one object. It takes several attempts to register what I'm trying to do, and then it's too late - opportunity has passed and subject has moved. Time to really study my manual I guess or maybe this is a shortcoming with this camera.

Unfortunately, camera didn't work properly (from the very beginning). I did not bother to return it, my fault. My only suggestion, if applicable, buy it locally. Good Luck

worked fine for me ,,, be sure you have power to both moniter and camera ,, ALSO please note the color quality is horrid , no green at all black and white would be better , , thay sent me another camera , same problem ,, ,, If power OK try video cable to monitor could be low signal strenth.

First try to change the inputs a few times to see if that works. For me I tried to use their screen fill feature and when I did the screen turned blue. I was about to return it when I tried connecting it to a blue ray player and it unlocked it. Since then I have not tried to use that feature and have had no problems with it. This is technically a flaw in the monitor that I'm over looking because I don't want to go through the hassle of returning it and when Canon releases the firmware update at the end of this month it will allow for a full screen view and at this price point you cannot find a monitor with HDMI out and in, which I love. If this does not help, you may have a defective unit and need to return it. Hopefully that helped, good luck.
