My nikon d3000 won't turn on. I used it heavily over the summer, but now i only use it for class. It gets knocked around a lot because of the nature of my summer job (camp photographer) and being at college. However, after a short fall to the hardwood floor today, the camera won't turn on at all. Help!!!

SOURCE: how to remove the battery from nikon d3000

the little trap door on the bottom houses both the memory card and the battery. you have to push the battery slightly to release it. i fond the easiest way at that point is to tip the camera and the battery usually slides right out.

Turn of the high quality mode to low quality mode... pictures will be clearer.

From the Nikon site, do you have one of these flash units.
Support for the Nikon Creative Lighting System when using SB-900, SB-600, or SB-400 Speedlights, or the SU-800 Wireless Speedlight Commander
If so You set the flash mode to "comander" the pop up flash must be UP

This Video by Nikon shows how but you will have to read the manual to get a full description go to the flash section http://www.nikondigitutor.com/eng/d300s/index.html

Then look at them all :)

SOURCE: What settings would you use on the Nikon D3100

I'd start by setting the ISO to 200, the exposure mode to Manual, and the aperture to F/16. I'd then take a few shots at shutter speeds of 8, 15, and 30 seconds just to see what they look like. I would also be prepared to adjust the aperture a stop or two in either direction, and keep watching the results.

Most of the pictures I took at a fireworks show last year were at F/11 and 30 seconds.

you should change the focus lock to AF-S, instead of AF-C
