Nikon D5300: My D5300 won't turn on

Sun, 09 Oct 2022 09:31:46 -0700

My D5300 will not turn on. When I put the battery in and turn the switch to on the green light flashes but the camera does not turn on. If you look through the viewfinder it shows that the battery is low. I have tried 3 different batters charged by different battery chargers. I have also tried 3 different lens sizes.

Nikon D5300: Flash Pops Open, but Wont Fire

Tue, 25 Apr 2017 06:16:13 -0700

Hey, I have a Nikon D5300. The flash mechanism seems to look different than previous nikons. The flash pops open but will not light in all modes. This causes really dark photos or photos to look yellow with the focusing light.

The camera has been factory reset.

Nikon D5300: Autofocus issue in liveview for Tamron 70-300mm

Thu, 17 Dec 2020 00:00:32 -0700

I have been facing autofocus issue with Tamron 70-300mm VC USM lens on Nikon D5300. The camera autofocuses fine through viewfinder but it is not able to autofocus at all in liveview, the lens just hunts for autofocus but not being able to autofocus in the end. The camera autofocuses fine in both liveview and viewfinder with all other lenses, which rules out the possibility of being something wrong with the camera. The Tamron lens was working fine like a week back and it suddenly started having this issue. I need help on what might be the cause of this and how to get it fixed. Thanks.

P.S: There are some dirt particles when i look through the viewfinder but it doesn't affect the shots. Just for FYI.

The live view change lever has broken on my camera. I have obtained a replacement but need to remove the command wheel to fit it. I would like to know if it can be just prised off, or do I need to remove the casing to access it.

Any help and advice would be much appreciated.

Nikon D5300: Why is my SD card not detected? RESOLVED

Thu, 14 Dec 2023 20:11:34 -0700

I re-inserted my SD card into my camera (after editing on my laptop). Now the camera says no SD card detected. I already went through Nikon's trouble-shooting web pages.

The door became loose over time. The SD card needs more pressure to make full contact. I added small bits of paper on the door, so when it closes, there's more pressure. It works now. But will it loosen more over time? Time to plan for a Z9.

Nikon D5300: replacing a cracked screen

Mon, 21 Jan 2019 10:32:52 -0700

The screen on my nikon d5300 is cracked, I have bought a replacement and plan to undertake the fix myself. There is only one youtube video related to replacing cracked d5300 screen which is helpfull but i would prefer a step by step explanation with diagrams. Does such a thing exist?

Also from the video on Youtube it doesn't look as though I need to do any soldering when I replace the screen with the new one. Is that correct
