Yea, that's kind of what I'm thinking, something to do with the battery in some way or other...

There is likely a table of error codes in the online, downloadable PDF manual for the camera that can be found on Nikon's Downloads site.

Thanks everyone, I believe the problem has been solved...looks as though it was an issue with his battery being low.
