SOURCE: Nikon D40 will not take a picture.

I fixed it!! Turn the lens to Manual mode (moving to M). Twist the very tip of the lens till it unlocks.

If you twist the lens on the end far enough on the end to the right you will find it "locks". This is what is causing the screeching sound,, it's locked and can't auto focus. Twist the very end to the left till it releases. This fixed it for me.

SOURCE: Initialization Error

try pressing the 2 green buttons to reset the unit . if you get lucky and it turns on, immediately follow the steps to update your firmware on this website http://ampin.wordpress.com/2007/03/02/nikon-d40-firmware-upgrade/ , otherwise you will need to take the camera to an authorized repair center . :)

SOURCE: Pictures too dark. Shutter operating too slowly.

Are you in auto mode? If it is manual then it is possible that the settings are not correct for the light. You can look at the meter to see what the camera thinks about the exposure.

It sounds as if your subject is too dark. Does this happen when the area is brightly lit? Does the flash fire?

Hi My Nikon D5100 camera giving a sin of Autoexposure error. Contact a Nikon authorized representative message after it's drooped from my tripod on the deck floor (Wooden Floor). The Nikon55-300mm

There is no way to really answer this question as the camera was dropped. If it was dropped with the lens, then the problem could be either in the body or the lens (or both). If you have another lens try it and see if you get the same result. Otherwise you are probably going to have to take it to the shop or send it to Nikon

My one year old Nikon D90 intermittently will not work, and will display "err" in upper left of screen, and "cha" in lower right. After some period of time, this eventually passes and...

ERR means camera error and CHA means this card cannot be used. You are probably getting the CHA error because of a camera malfunction. Try removing card and batteries with the camera turned "ON", the press and hold the shutter release for approx. 30 seconds. Replace battery and card. If your D90 has a "reset" button on bottm of camera, press that when batteries are installed and camera ON if the first doesn't work. If it continues, then Service by an authorized Nikon Service Center is advised.
