battery and memory card and reseat them to make it go away, but many say it returns later. What exactly does CHA mean and how should one resolve it more definitively? battery nikon-d90 memory-card error share|improve this question asked Oct 1 '13 at 23:37 WilliamKF 80031432 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote accepted The D90 uses CHA as a generic 'card error' condition if a problem occurs while the card is in use. If the card works at all or has been working then it's unlikely to be a formatting issue. This could just be a case of a poor connection and cleaning the contacts on the card and reseating everything may solve it. If it has been working then there could be a problem with the card in which case you should be able to test it in a desktop machine and retire/replace it if necessary. There is also an issue I've had with the D90 and larger memory cards (over 8gb) where it incorrectly calculates 'checksums' used to determine if there is a problem (although it writes them correctly) when the value isn't what it expects then you'll get a CHA message. As a temporary resolution you can access the card in a reader and copy & remove

CHA message :-( Nov 30, 2008 Well, SHOOT. I honestly don't believe this cha nikon is a card issue as so many do because after looking into it more (googling) it appears several people have nikon d90 manual replaced cards only to have the error message happen again and more times than not the consensus is that a new camera is needed (not the card, not the lens). Apparently "evidence" of http://photo.stackexchange.com/questions/43094/what-does-cha-mean-on-nikon-d-90 this is that one's forced to remove and then put back the battery just to get the camera functioning again (everything freezes to the extent that you can't even turn the camera off, if you don't do this)...a Nikon rep told someone that that usually means it's a problem inside the camera itself. Why the manual suggests it's the card is beyond me.I'll contact Nikon https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/30189860 (ugh) but meanwhile if anyone has any new advice (besides replacing the card and taking the battery out and putting it back in) - or if you've heard anything new about what might be the true culprit - please do share. If I find anything out I'll share as well.Thank you! Reply to thread Reply with quote Complain ForumParentFirstPreviousNextFlat view Post (hide subjects) Posted by When DARN it!
