Nikon D3200: The auto focus doesn't work

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 12:27:25 -0700

The auto focus on the camera is broken. When the lens is switched onto Auto, the camera doesn't take pictures at all, and on manual it needs to be focused manually (obviously). I'm not sure if it's a setting that I can fix or if there is something wrong with the camera itself.

Nikon D80: "err" message on the display, the answer is not clear

Sat, 16 Apr 2022 01:44:40 -0700

Hi There,

I have a problem,

When I switch on my Nikon D80

On the LCD "Err" is flashing.

THe Flash doesn't pop up

The AF Doesn't work

The DoF preview doesn't work.

But the shutter works, but no images are stored.

Sometimes the Mirror stays up, until I take the next picture.

I Have a Service manual, but this error isn't discribed.

I somehow managed to work for 10 Pictures but then the same happened again.

Any Idears, what could be the Problem.

I Hope you can help me.

Best regards

I purchased a new Ultra SanDisk 64GB for an upcoming trip. I have formatted the disk, but the LCD on my D80 says "Full" and will not allow me to shoot. If I replace with the current 16 GB disk, everything works OK. What can I do?

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.
