Nikon D3500: Why is my camera taking black pictures?

Sat, 08 Nov 2025 19:42:17 -0700

I got my camera (a D3500) about a year and a half ago. It has worked fine up until this point but it has suddenly started taking completely black pictures, even though I can still see perfectly through the viewfinder. The first photo attached is what all photos I try to take look like. The second photo is what the screen looks like when I switch to live view. I was just wondering if you would have any idea what is wrong with it and how it could be fixed, if possible because I have no idea. Thank you!

Greetings,

My Nikon D3500 turns on. LCD is blank,

Camera focus, data is displayed in the range finder. I will take a picture, shutter will activate. flash will work.

After the pic is taken in the rangefinder we get an error ... No image is saved. SD card blank

Note :

Battery is charged

I have changed SD Card twice.

I have copied a image to the SD Card, and connect USB to the camera. We still cannot read the SD Card.

Please help

Nikon D3500: SD acts weird + shutter error

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 07:09:58 -0700

So, if i put SD card in it it usually works but sometimes it says it cant read it. if i try to take a picture it says lens error press shutter button again, and if i remove the sd card and put it back in it just wont read it at all until i remove the camera's battery and put it back in, also after i take a picture the images show up as (the best way to describe it is corrupted) with a red x over them but they disappear after the battery is removed and put back in the shutter sounds and looks fine and the sensor appears to be clean and unblemished, also LV mode wont turn on, ive tried several SD cards and resetting all the settings, im not sure if its a bad sd slot bad shutter both or neither, i cant find any info online.
