Nikon D5200: How to fix Back/Front Focusing mechanically?

Sat, 27 Dec 2025 21:23:46 -0700

My Camera (D5200) has back focusing when using the viewfinder, when focusing with liveview is ok, even when I use f/8 it doesn't focus the correct object, is there any way of fixing this using traditional metods? (Any tool to use) I have heard of a hex key behind the mirror but it is for the mirror itself as I understood, not the real problem.

Nikon D5200: Why is the pop-up flash stuck up?

Mon, 19 May 2025 06:16:48 -0700

The pop up flash of the Nikon D 5200 is stuck up and would not open even on pressing various buttons or changing various settings. An external flash when mounted on the flash shoe works well though

Nikon D5200: Nikon D5200 Capturing Half-Frame Images After Few Shots, Shutter Issue

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 15:56:05 -0700

I have a Nikon D5200 DSLR. Even with a fully charged battery, I only get 5–6 proper landscape shots, and then it starts capturing half-frame images — meaning only the top half of the picture is visible while the bottom half turns dark. In portrait mode, I get around 7–8 shots before the same issue occurs. What could be the reason for this, and how can I fix it

Nikon D5200: Problem with image size

Thu, 29 Oct 2020 12:01:54 -0700

A friend has this camera and so do I. We both have the image size set on RAW and L. My photos have a high resolution of 6000 x 4000 and hers are at 640x427. We cannot figure out why her photos are so small. Would this be a camera defect?

Nikon D5200: How can I fix a stuck up mirror?

Fri, 06 Dec 2019 08:14:11 -0700

My Nikon D5200 when open, an error appears on the monitor and it says Press shutter release button again.

When you click the shutter botton the mirror inside is not functioning well as in a normal way as in… its running halfway or not in full swing.

I notice it last time that I cover a birthday party I had a low-bat situation so I charge the battery and during the charging it happens there’s a brown out so the power went off then a few seconds the power goes back from a power generator and maybe 15 mins. later the power goes back from the main but still the battery charger was not remove from the outlet after 30 mins of charging maybe 1/4 of the battery was fill I continued to take photos.

I found out that when I click the shutter a time the flash doesn’t function later the mirror comes a halfway and seems dragging then when I check it a notification appears on the screen that I have to Press the shutter button again then it goes back but as time passes later I can’t take any pictures anymore.

When the event ends I went home and fully charge my battery for almost 3 hours then check it with my camera but still the same thing goes. My plan is to send it to the service center but before doing it I rely on this page whether you can fixed it before I do sending it to the service center.

Nikon D5200: Top cover with flash and buttons replacement

Tue, 08 Oct 2019 10:41:16 -0700

Hi there,

I am having issues with the control buttons and power switch after some fresh water ingress. It did intermittently work for a short period of time with some trigger button problems, and power up issues. I believe the top cover and buttons assembly needs to be replaced. I have found parts online and will need to buy some tools through ifixit. However, i have been unable to find a repair guide for this job online. The motherboard replacement guide found here only gets me so far. Do you have a repair guide for this job available?

Many thanks for any help you can give me.

Nikon D5200: LCD on but not showing a picture

Wed, 02 Oct 2019 14:21:35 -0700

My D5200 seems to be working just fine other than the fact that it is not showing an picture on the LCD screen. The screen stays grey when turned on but will not show anything (regardless of if I mess with the buttons). I can still take photos and retrieve them from the SD card.
