When I power on my Nikon I hear a clicking noise. Any ideas on this? D3200 Nikon

Sounds like trouble in the lens. Trying taking the lens off and restarting. No noise? Then the problem in in the lens. No easy fixes other than put on another lens while the camera repair shop fixes that one. If it the short zoom that comes in the kit with many new cameras it is likely not worth the cost of repair.

How to take apart Nikon lens 28-300mm

Do you have a lens collimator and other equipment needed to reassemble the lens properly? Otherwise you may as well disassemble it with a sledgehammer---it'll work just as well afterwards.

I'm not questioning your ability, but your equipment. Would you rebuild a car engine using the tools in your kitchen? Would you service a flat-screen television using the automotive tools in your garage? A camera lens is a precision piece of equipment, requiring its own specialized tools.

Tokinka 11-16 dropped in water

Unless you have a lens collimator and other equipment needed to ensure proper alignment when reassembling the lens, take it to a good camera shop and have a properly trained and equipped professional clean it.

My Nikon Coolpix s9100 (bought about a fortnight ago) freezes when I turn it on. The lens comes out and it makes a clicking sound but nothing appears in the viewer and it appears to be locked up. The...

I have the same problem and found someone on Amazon with this suggestion... "What I discovered is that the mechanical lens zoom assembly is binding and the lens zoom was not stopping where the software expected it to. A slight twist of the lens assembly would unfreeze the camera."

I twisted my lens assembly when this happened, and it worked. I was able to continue to zoom and take a picture. It's still not ideal and I want it fixed, but it works temporarily.

Hi, can tell to me why my 18-200 af vr lenss go

The "problem" is that the lens has a zoom creep issue. If you are the original purchaser, and the lens is under 5 years old, you may want to contact Nikon repair facilites in Melville or El Segundo to have it checked out.
Some users on forums have claimed that Nikon fixed the plastics ring that contribute to the zoom creep. Apparently, using a rubber band around the zoom ring will minimize the problem.
Hope this helps,
Andrew

This lens has a five year Nikon warranty, if the seller won't fix it, contact Nikon. This lens most certainly should not be doing this!!

I have a Nikon D40, which I recently dropped. :( Camera seemed okay, but then I noticed later that the 18-55 lens was being less than cooperative. It now is stuck on 55 adn will not zoom out. It still...

It sound like the lens zoom has broken.
If other lens is ok and this lens still focuses automatically the conection is working.

Sorry to bring the bad news but it may cost less to get a new lens than to get it fixed.

Someone else might have an idea how to fix the zoom, good luck.

Problem with the Nikkor AF-S DX 55-200 zoom lens.

I just had the same exact problem! However, in my case I was finishing up a photo shoot at work, went to switch lenses, and when I picked up my 55-200mm zoom lens, the tip of it fell off!! I was able to put it back into the end of the lens, but now I am having the same autofocus problem and sound effect. I think it is because it is off track inside the lens. But I have only had mine for 5 months! I'm preparing to send it to Nikon for warrenty repair.
