In either mode, you're zooming by turning the zoom ring on the lens? In live view mode, if you zoom in by pressing the magnifying glass button, all you're doing is zooming the display, not the image itself.

SOURCE: Lens Error

This is probably THE most common failure among digital cameras. There's a halfway chance of fixing it yourself, described here: http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixing-lens-error-on-digital-camera.html

Are these pictures taken using the built-in flash and with the hood on the lens? If so, you're seeing the shadow of the lens hood.

Remove the lens hood when using the built-in flash.

Hello

The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.

Use these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.

Firstly , try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.

Try holding the shutter button while switching on the camera.

Look at the lens , and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).

Try gently pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.

Another way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the camera is enough to get things going again.

Try hitting your camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of your hand.

Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair center for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to replace the camera.

If it is still under warranty I would suggest you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.

You can also have a look at THIS link.

Hope the advise is useful. please do not hesitate to let me know if you need any further assistance.

Regards
Andrea

Your photos will not be affected by this fault. Just take the memory card out of the camera and read it with a card reader attached to the computer.

Unfortunately the camera will probably need an expensive repair, or if that isn't economic, replacement.

My Nikon D3200 shows black stripes on live view. Every I turn on the live view, it shows the black stripes. but when I take photos it did not show the black stripes. Is it a massive problem or simple...

I can't think of black stripes that should be on a monitor. Like a grid in your viewfinder. The stripes should not be there. Is your camera still under waranty? (in europe we have 2 years with Nikon). Then I should contact Nikon and ask they can help you with this "problem" When you contact Nikon, please tell them when you have the stripes and when you don't have them. I assume you don't see stripes in the menu or when viewing pictures.
I must tell you, personaly I never use live view, but I just checked on my more than 2 years old Nikon and there were no black stripes on the screen.

Operating nikkor 70-300mm f4.5-f5.6 with nikon d5100

No Nikon lens ever zooms automatically, so I assume you mean focus.
The D5100 lacks an autofocus motor, requiring the lens to have one. The older 70-300mm lenses lack this motor, expecting the camera body to have one.
The D5100 will only autofocus with lenses designated AF-S or AF-I. It will not autofocus with older AF-D and AF-G lenses.

My nikon d5100 comes out with lcolored lines up and down my pictures dissorting my image,whats wrong?

The sensor would be a prime suspect. Has the camera been anywhere where dirt or moisture might have got in? Or has an attempt been made to clean the sensor recently? If so, it may be worth taking to a specialist camera shop to check, but prepare yourself for some bad news. If it is the sensor that is broken it may well be beyond economical repair.

Can I use one nikon d5100 with one sakar mc zoom 80-200 No. 803489

If your lens has a Nikon mount then yes, you can use it on the D5100. You'll have to switch to the Manual exposure mode and you won't get any exposure help from the camera's light meter.

I have a nikon d5100, when I take a picture the live view screen is black. I can view the pictures saved on my memory card but not the pictures currently taken! How can I fix this problem?

The normal mode for this camera, as it has been for SLRs for half a century, is to use the viewfinder to compose your pictures. If you want to use the Live View feature, you need to activate it by rotating the Live View switch beside the mode dial. Full details are in the "Live View" section of the manual (begins on page 99 in my copy). If you need a manual, you can download one from

Can not view through theLCD while taking pictures

No, you are not missing a button. The D60 does not offer 'live view' like the compact digital cameras.
