See if you can reset the electronics and restore the unit to factory defaults. If no result and if Nikon does not have a hidden code to fix situation you will either have to live with the situation, replace the camera, fix the camera (not cost effective.) Your choice.

SOURCE: Our Nikon d1x won't take

The blinking FEE message means the aperture ring is not set to minimum aperture (highest number). Turn the aperture ring to the highest number, and then find the aperture lock -- either a little slider or a button you press and turn. That will keep it from accidentally changing again.

SOURCE: flash doesn't work on nikon coolpix l12

I actually just fooled around with mine because it was doing the same thing. It will only flash in the scene mode, but not the normal quickshot mode. i noticed under the camera symbol on the screen said BSS and i went into the menu and clicked on BSS and turned it off b/c it was on and that worked finally.maybe u can try it, if its the same situation.

SOURCE: My Nikon D40 won't take pictures fast.

There is a buffer in your camera that processes your images for storage on your memory card. The larger the file size, the more the buffer is being used per image. That will slow down your image transfer.

Also, memory cards are not just about the size of the memory card. It's very about about transfer rate. Once the buffer is ready to send the image to the card, the card has to be able to accept the MB quickly. If your card has a transfer rate of less than 255, it's going to be slow, especially with larger images.

SOURCE: On my Nikon D70s, when I take a picture and see

There is nothing wrong with your camera. What you are seeing are the blown-out highlights. Those are the portions of your image that have been overexposed so completely that they have lost all detail and will show up as pure white. In most cases the proper fix is to reduce exposure to bring back the detail.

If you simply don't want to see the "blinkies", press up/down on the multiselector repeatedly to cycle through the different views of your images.

Can't import photos from Nikon D3100

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use Picasa or any other photo cataloging program.

My Nikon d3100 only takes black photo's when the lens finder is working but the lcd is showing a black screen but still has icons so what is wrong?

sounds very much like a CCD unit failure. This will require another trip back for repairs and now that it is out of warranty it is going to cost plenty.

Can't see image on my d3000 screen i dropped it. It is not cracked just can't see images anymore. Camera still takes pictures, can view on computer.

Something has been internally damaged. Don't try to fix this yourself. Take your camera to a qualified repair man or, better yet, contact your nearest Nikon Repair Depot which can be found in your instruction manual or at the Nikon USA website.

NIKON D3100 zoom problem

The D3100 doesn't have digital zoom capabilities. The zoom range depends on the lens you have fitted on. The 5.6 sounds like the aperture. The maximum aperture also depends on the lens.

The S3100 does have digital zoom capabilities. Is this the camera you're referring to? Or are you confusing the specs of the two cameras?

I have a nikon d3100 and some of the shooting modes are grayed out like picture control and if i press there is a message that says the options is not available with current settings what do i do??? i

Try resetting the camera by removing the battery for 15 mins. Replace the battery and go to the camera's Menu setting and set the Date and Time.
The camera should now be set to the factory default settings.

Dropped my Nikon d3100 now pictures are coming out black is that because there is damage to the lens or the camera itself? Can it be fixed?

Yes and probably.
There apparently is damage to either the lens or the camera, most likely the camera. Though without being able to see any pictures damage to the lens is also possible.
If you can't see the menu when you press the MENU button then the damage may be restricted to the LCD screen. If the photos are black when viewed on a computer then the damage may involve the sensor. Without having an authorized Nikon repair shop take a look at it, it's impossible to know just what is damaged. And without knowing that, it's impossible to tell whether it can be fixed, and how much it would cost.

Nikon d3100 showing no sd card inserted message even after inserting it..please help

The only thing I can think of remove the SD Card, start camera, and go into the menu, check to make sure there are no pictures on the internal memory, if there are! erase them and restart camera and power off, re-install card and hopefully you are good to go. If no change! have the camera shop run a quick check.

I have just bought a Nikon D3100 but haven't taken a photo yet as I can't get rid of the info display. i either have info display or a black screen.

Hi, With DSLR's you're supposed to look through the view finder to take a picture however if you'd like to use live view on the LCD you need to turn live view on. If you look on the back of your camera there's a toggle around the red record button, you switch it and it'll turn live view on. If you need anymore help feel free to contact me and I can give you a hand =)
