Camera Issues

May be me but I have D80 with VR18-200 lens - every now and then lately I am shooting some shots under auto setting the camera or lens wont action and shows nil battery on the screen and no focus settings - When I switch it off and back on it seems ok to start again - this happens intermittently - any suggestions ? - the battery is fully charged by the way

Not sure but have you tried cleaning the lens and camera contacts?

What if you change lenses and or battery? Does it still happen then? If so, try looking at the contacts for damage or dirt on camera, lens and battery. If still persists call your local (good) camera shop and ask. Last resort, send to Nikon for fixing and tune up.
