The English manual (Spanish is also available) for your D60 is available free od charge from Nikon below:

http://www.nikonusa.com/pdf/manuals/dslr/D60_en.pdf

The shutter on the D60 can be released by self timer or remote (and of course by the normal shutter button). You're interested in releasing the shutter via IR Remote. An explanation of the shutter release Modes are contained on a single page (Pg. 54) of the manual and should be reviewed before going to the next page. The use of the IR Remote Release Mode is detailed here. Briefly, it states:

"Highlight Release mode in the Quick settings display and select one of the following release modes..." <table of choices & graphics>

You could select either Self Timer (10 seconds), Delayed Remote (2 seconds) or Quick Response Remote, but you're interested in one of the last two methods. The shortcut "Self Timer / Fn" button mentioned is on the camera body - between the lens and directly in front of the "D60" badge.

I hope this helps!

I assume you're referring to the ML-L3 infrared remote?

Select Release Mode from the Quick settings display. Select Quick-response remote. This will make the camera take a picture when you press the button on the remote. Well, almost. The same focusing and exposure metering delays occur as if you'd pressed the shutter release button.

You can also use the Delayed remote mode for group pictures. This gives you two seconds to hide your hand behind your back before the camera takes the picture.

By default the D60 will time out after one minute if you don't press the button on the remote. Custom Setting #17 allows you to set a longer interval.

When you have the flashing highlight areas, press the down arrow on the command dial and it will scroll through various playback screen options until you get to the screen you prefer to view.

SOURCE: wireless remote control

Select Release Mode from the Quick Settings display and choose one of the two remote modes. The Quick-response remote mode fires the shutter as soon as you press the button on the remote. The Delayed remote mode gives you two seconds to hide the remote behind your back before firing the shutter.

For full details, look at the "Releasing the Shutter" section in your manual (page 54 in my copy).

I have Nikon D60. The monitor will not display images, but it works for menus, etc. It says it will not display due to current settings, but i cannot find the setting to change it.

The D60 works as SLRs have worked for half a century, using the viewfinder to compose photos. Only recent dSLRs provide the Live View capability, allowing you to use the monitor for that purpose. Nikon introduced this feature with the D3 and the D300. Currently, the least-expensive Nikon with this feature is the D5000.

I have the nikon d60, is there a setting that i can set up consectutive pictures taking while not manually holding it so I can get in the picture? I know I can do that for one picture but would like to...

i have a canon that can do that and i have the nikon d80 which cannot do it. if i were you i would get the remote off ebay. you can find them for as cheap as like $3. i got one for my d80. i still set the timer for like 5 seconds or something so i can put the remote in my pocket real quick or just move my arm back or something like that. having the remote comes in handym well worth the couple bucks you spend on it

Need to change language on Nikon D60

Within the menu items that can be viewed on the back of the camera, there is a language option that you can set. You may have to scroll through all of these to get the correct setting. Nikon tends to change the menu layout from camera to camera, so it may not be the same in your D60 as it is in a D300 or other model.

Using the ML-L3 with the D60

Got it! It's on page 54 of the manual (mine anyway).

Choose release mode from the Quick settings display.

You have a choice between:
single frame (default)
continuous (burst mode)
self-timer
delayed remote (using the ML-L3)
quick response remote (using the ML-L3)

I just took 4 self-portraits using quick response. And deleted them straightaway!
