Check to make sure auto bracketing is not turned on. Otherwise send it to Nikon as it is under warranty (assuming you didn't drop it etc)

Unfortunately, you may have a faulty flash pcb (printed circuit board) The part is around 50$ plus installation 200+ total repair cost. A work around would be to use an external flash unit from the hot shoe

SOURCE: Nikon S210 flash not working

The flash has been working fine until last night when I tried to take a picture and the flash was set to auto. When I press the button the little red light beside the flash sign lights up, but the camera does not take the photo. When I set it to flash mode, it still won't take a photo. When I turn off the flash, then it does. What could be the problem? Is it in the settings?

Hi,

You should review your camera manual. Here's a link to it.

First, the "Auto ISO" message is simply informing you that the ISO value (which is the sensitivity to light - the same as film ISO values. The lower the number the less sensitive and longer the exposure needs to be. High ISO values are more sensitive and require less time - but become grainier as the value increases) is not set to any particular value, but will adjust up and down as needed. ISO is mentioned throughout the manual, but begins on page 53.

The "r09" message is letting you know that the internal memory buffer has enough room for 9 images to be taken in rapid succession - before the camera must stop shooting to transfer those images from the buffer to the removable memory card. If you held the shutter release button in continuous shooting mode, the "r09" would decrease by one after each exposure until after "r01" was taken. then the camera would not shoot until the buffer was transferred. page 55 of the manual details this indicator.

It is important to note that neither of these conditions is an error message. Also, neither would prevent taking a picture. What can prevent an exposure is an out of focus condition. The focus is set to either Manual Focus or Auto Focus in the quick settings display and on many Nikon lenses made for use with digital cameras attached directly to the camera. Page 61 of the manual describes this in greater detail. Make sure that the the camera settings are not conflicting with the settings on the lens (if equipped with the M-A or M/A-M switch like the one shown below).

If you set the camera and lens to manual focus, you can release the shutter at any time - regardless if the subject is in focus or not. If in Auto mode, there needs to be sufficient light for the camera to focus. If the lens does not attempt to focus, the focus motor could be having a problem. The D60 does not have a focus motor in the camera body like most of the other Nikon cameras, and must use lenses with focus motors built into the lens instead. Use of a lens that does not have a motor will have to be focused manually. Only AF-S and AF-I designated lenses can auto focus with the D60 camera body as indicated on the bottom of page 18. Compatible lenses are listed on page 181.

I hope this helps and good luck. Please rate my reply . Thanks!

Nikon SB 700 Problem: 'IT FIRES BUT NOT SHOWING THE RESULT PLEASE HELP TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM' ...

You did not give enough information. If the flash fires when you press the shutter button then it seems to have taken a photo. You do not tell us what happens when you press the playback button on the camera or what camera you are using with the flash.

After Taking Photograph shows good in back screen but after transfering to Pc it shows very Dark why it so ?

use high quality speed card. secondly every camera company shows you bright picture because they want to cell their product with bright screen. so if you are a photographer then you ahve to use screen brightness and darkness in camera keep it on -2 setting

I have a Nikon d200 and need to take sports photos in a basketball court The sport is very fast moving. What should I set the camera to. Lately the photos are dark and or blurry

You want the fastest shutter speed you can get and the largest aperture possible.
If you're close enough and it's allowed, use the flash. The flash will freeze the action. However, it's likely to give you a dark background instead of a blurry background.
If not, use the Aperture Priority mode. Open the lens to its maximum aperture (smallest f/number). This will give you the fastest shutter speed for the existing lighting conditions. The fast shutter speed will freeze the action and the large aperture will blur the background, though the amount of freezing may be limited if the lighting is relatively dark, as in a high school gym.
Be aware that if you're shooting indoors you're going up against the laws of physics. The human eye can adapt much better than any camera. A high school gym will appear light enough once you've been inside for a few minutes, but it is much, much darker than a bright day outdoors.

Photos to dark

The aperture and shutter speed setting depends on the amount of light and on the effect you want to achieve. For any given lighting situation there are many possible aperture/shutter speed settings that are all equally valid. However, the aperture also determines the depth of field, and the shutter speed can either freeze action or allow it to blur. Only you as the photographer can decide which of those valid exposure settings best conveys your vision.
As to how to determine the proper exposure, there are several possibilities. One is to use a light meter. If you don't have a separate light meter, you can use another lens and meter through it. It may not give you exactly the same field of view, but it should get you into the ballpark. Then there's the "sunny-16 rule." This says that under a bright sun, the proper exposure is f/16 with a shutter speed equivalent to 1 over the ISO. Of course this is just a starting point, and you can adjust the aperture/shutter speed to achieve the desired result.
I suggest you visit your local library. They should have introductory books on photography which will explain all this in depth.

Dropped Nikon Camera Sadness

Hi Al
not sure if i can help here but will try.
Ive not owned the D50 but i have the feeling the highlights function is similar to other cameras in the Nikon range.

On your cursor when viewing an image, just press down on the cursor maybe once or twice to remove the highlights .This is just a pointer for you like the histogram.

Now it seems like you may have damaged the sensor and will not collect enough light.

Try setting the camera to A = aperture priority and take a shot in bright light...no flash.

Are the images still dark ?

If so raise your iso to 800 and shutter speed to 1/250 at F5.6 aperture in mode S =shutter priority and take the shot in bright conditions.

Are the shots still dark ?
