Picked up a D90 today. It is in very nice cosmetic condition. Shutter count 8615.

It auto focuses fine with a few different lenses, BUT all the pics are coming out pink.

What if anything will fix this?

When you view the photos on the rear LCD screen, are they still showing as pink ? Or is it only when your viewing the images on your computer, if it's only showing up on the computer, it could be a faulty memory card, if it's showing up on the rear screen, it's possible a faulty sensor.

The pics show pink on both rear screen and computer.

I've tried different SD cards and lenses, and the two button reset...still pink.

You could try a firmware update

 

Distortion Control Data Ver.2.018 2020/01/16

D90 Firmware A:Ver.1.00/B:   Ver.1.01 2014/08/26

 

Failing that - return to supplier.

I did a firmware update, but that didn't fix the problem.

I'm pretty sure the camera has been converted to infrared

Looking again at the image, it does look like the leaves certainly look like there reflecting infrared, therefore the IR filter could have been removed from the sensor, try turning the camera into monochrome and see what the images look like.

This looks (indeed) like taken with a camera with an IR converted sensor - it will allow you to give lots of fun, though not normal colour pictures.

Can’t the seller tell you what has been done with the camera?

I guess it is a 720nm filter on the sensor - nothing that you can revert without changing the sensor, because other filters have been previously removed.

Shouldn't a monochrome shot be, well.... monochrome (that is, black & white), no matter what's been done to the sensor?

I take it this is a Jpeg file from the camera, try loading a Raw file into Lightroom or photoshop and turn the saturation to 0%, that should give you a monochrome infrared image,

I should have been more specific, but what I meant was via Picture Control. There is a monochrome setting which is often what photographers using IR converted cameras use to preview, and capture images. Unless the camera has some fault, setting picture control to mono should produce a monochrome preview on the LCD as well as a jpeg image at whatever quality setting the photographer has set on the camera. Of course, RAW images still retain the full color spectrum... or at least as much of that as the sensor can provide. Thus, the MO is often to shoot RAW + low quality jpeg using the mono picture control which provides the photographer with a monochrome LCD preview while still capturing a full spectrum RAW image for post processing.

 

Using Photoshop is certainty one way to convert images to monochrome... and in fact, recent versions of Photoshop actually have a monochrome switch which includes various black and white filter effects, including IR which works amazingly well, but for a photographer in the field, knowing what the image will look like via the LCD is far more practical. At least it would be for me.

This is probably a white-balance problem. NEF or RAW files don't have a white balance setting yet. They are a recording of the data before any settings such as white-balance are applied. If you load the NEF file in a viewer, it will make some assumption on what white-balance to use, that is why it looks different in different programs.

Try opening the NEF file in Nikon View NX-I or Capture NX-I, they are both available for free on the Nikon site. Or, you can try to update the firmware. For the pictures you may use a photo repair program like stellar repair for photo to correct the picture problems and make them new.
