20 Most Recent Nikon Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED AF-S DX Zoom Lens for DX SLR Cameras Questions & Answers

if other auto-focus lenses work, then it is likely that this particular lens has a defect I suggest you send it in to Nikon for servicing

Don't force it.
Did you get dust or dirt in it?
The only solution is to bring it in for service or send it to Nikon if it is a USA model.
Nikon USA will NOT repair any gray market items.

If you realy have fungus in your zoom lens, you can't do anything. If it does not show on the pictures, just keep the lens dry. (use silica gel) If you want it it be repaired, it will cost more than an new lens.

Whatever you do, do not open the lens. You will never be able to reassemble it. If the fungus is adversely affecting your images, you need to take it to a qualified camera repair man or send it to a Nikon repair depot found on the Nikon website. If it is not affecting your pictures, I would just live with it.

My lens is also doing that same thing... and I just posted pretty much the exact thing you said...Mine squeaks and goes in and out really fast.. I do know that you can put the camera on manual mode and focus manually on mine, but would like to have the auto focus sometimes too. If I dont get an answer soon, I may send it in... I believe its a motor problem in the lens....

Your motor may have gone bad. Try sending it to PhotoTech Repair Service in NYC. They are Nikon authorized, and can do the repair under warranty if you still have it. Also if you join they're facebook page, they will give you a 10% discount.

Assuming that you've already tried a good firm hand on the zoom ring then all you can realistically try is to give the lens a few good firm slaps onto a desk to try and free up whatever has gone wrong. Brute force usually sorts them out, but it is "kill or cure". This lens lacks a macro mode, so this is not the usual simple case of adjusting a lens control and then slapping your forehead with embarrassment...

The lens is otherwise uneconomic to repair as it's one of the cheaply built kit lenses and so you can easily obtain another for less than the cost of repairs.

infopgdesign,
That's a close call, depending on how bad the housing is broken, there may be lens alignment issues, the adapter ring or the housing body may be cracked, take it in to a shop so they can look it over closely to help you decide if you should send it to Nikon for repair which depending on the severity of the damage will determine the cost. if it's close to what you paid for the lens, save your money and buy a replacement, maybe the VR version of that lens if it wasn't.

1) What camera body are you using?

2) I do not understand your assertion that it automatically zoomed in. Zooming is a manual function. The automatic functions of your lens pertain only to focusing on of the subject so that your picture is sharp and ensuring that the correct amount of light is admitted so that you have a correct exposure.

3) Are you sure you were turning the zoom ring and not the f-stop ring? The zoom ring is labeled 200 on one end of the scale and 55 on the other. It is also the widest ring on the lens barrel. When you rotate it, the physical length of the lens will lengthen as you rotate it clockwise (viewed from behind the camera) and shorten as you rotate it counter-clockwise.

4) For reference, at 200mm the angle of view on your lens should be 10 degrees and at 55mm about 40 degrees.

Way, Way Over exposed Gracey. Read the manual for the mystery Nikon Camera and set the camera to Automatic Exposure. Film 'Speed' is measured in ASA Rating, 200 ASA would be standard for outside, 400 ASA for lower light, up to 1200 ASA for very low light like candle light. The higher the ASA Rating, the more grain you will get in an image. In the old days, we used a light meter set to the actual film speed of the roll of film in the camera and the sensor in the light meter told you what to to set the lens aperture and shutter speed to. Now with digital cameras, it is all automatic, or you can choose to go with manual exposure.FULL 'make model (what it is)' in all questions please first 3 words.GoogleNikon (model) manualRead it it LEAST 3 times and at least once with the camera in your lap. Use the camera every day for a week and read it again...

On Nikon cameras this isn't normally an error code. Have you got a memory card in the camera? Check that it isn't nearly full. r07 common comes up as an information prompt referring to the memory space in the camera. '07' being 7 shots remaining. If the card isn't full try this. Turn the camera off. Remove the battery. Remove the memory card. Leave it like that for at least 15 minutes. Connect the memory card to a computer or a laptop and check you can still look at and move the images that are on there. This is to check the memory card isn't corrupted (developed a fault).

• The "r07" message on a Nikon camera typically indicates the number of available shots in the camera buffer. It's not an error but rather an informational message. The number "r07" means that there are seven shots available in the camera buffer before it fills up. This is a normal part of the camera's operation and doesn't necessarily indicate a problem. It's more noticeable when you're shooting in continuous or burst mode. If you experience issues beyond this, it's advisable to check your camera settings and consult the camera manual. https://caranddriver.com/

it will not fit, but rather than ask why did you not just try it.

Try replacing Battery. For further rectification, see page 151 of user manual error messages. S8000_ENnoprint.pdf (nikon-cdn.com)

No unfortunately not. Camera repairs are very complex and require special tools. They are also repaired in a clean room with filtered air by men and women of full cover, coveralls. No fluff or specs on the sensors. Help here including a good answer on JustAnswer. https://www.google.com/search?q=Nikon+Coolpix+S570+won%27t+focus+in+any+mode+on+any+object ..

this error message is usually caused by a low battery. Here are some steps you can try to fix the issue: Remove the battery from your camera. Fully charge the battery using the Nikon D80 battery charger. Remove the memory card and reset the camera by using the reset option in the menu or by pressing the reset switch on the camera's body, under the connector cover . If the error persists, Nikon recommends waiting for one or two days before sending the camera in for inspection

From the sites I've looked at al say this about f.... Most of the time, this F Error message is limited to Nikon DLSR cameras. This particular error message appears when the camera is not able to communicate with the lens. To fix F- error message, clean the contacts on the rear of the lens with the help of microfiber cloth and make sure that the lens is locked into its place. If the problem still persists, then try different lenses to identify whether the problem is in the lens or camera. If you are not able to fix it by yourself, then you can take your camera to the service center. I'm not a camera buff but I thought I'd pass this on. other sites too.... https://duckduckgo.com/?q=err+low+f4.8+on+Nikon+d80&t=ffab&atb=v159-1&ia=web Best to you.
