I'd check the card first. Then, if you are using one, the card reader. It could also be a bad USB cable.

Check the easy and cheap stuff first.

I think not necessarily a bad card. Does the camera show the image that same bad way? If not, perhaps the card is working OK.

It can also be a card reader problem. Just try reading it again. Or try a different reader. I think the good USB 3.0 readers can work better than the cheapest bargain reader.

I normally plug the card into my computer. I had a D3200 drive error message now that I think about it. I got the scan to work today to repair the drive. Thanks for the input guys.

If the image is fine when viewed in the camera, then it is bad data transfer. That can be due to any of these reasons
. Bad USB cable
. Bad SD card
. Bad Card Reader
. Last but not the least a bad sector in the hard disk.

Try transferring the data using the USB cable supplied with the camera. You can also use View NX-II supplied with camera to rule out any software glitch.

Thanks.. That's what I've been leaning towards. I reformatted the card. I'll try more shots this weekend and see what happens.

Always reformat your card before every photo shoot. Think of your card as a hard drive. If you take a pic and delete it then there's a fragmentation on your card, reformatting your card is like defraging your hard drive. Of course make sure you take your photos off the card or they will be gone.

Thanks, never thought of it that way.... :cool:
