Problem for Nikon Coolpix 3100 Digital Camera

No picture is taken when shutter release button is pressed




By Arrgghh on Jun 01, 2006

All other features seem to be working fine, but pressing the
shutter release button does not take a picture. Auto focus
works on half press of shutter release, but nothing else
occurs when fully depressed. New batteries, new photo card,
went through set up again, tried all settings. No joy. Any
thoughts? Thanks!

- Thank you Silly Girl!
I've tried resetting the camera as well as leaving the
batteries out and tapping on the lens. I've also opened
the camera and checked all the ribbon connectors and such.
I really like the camera but before I spend a lot of money
on a two year old digital will probably just pick up a new
Nikon L4. Not quite the same but doesn't break my budget.
Thanks again.

-   I have exactly the same problem. My LCD works fine, the lens focuses fine, I can review pictures on the card, I just can't take new ones.-   cjwallgren1s

Are those NiMH batteries? Have you tried resetting the camera? If no standard way, just take out batteries for a few minutes, the more the merrier, let the tension build, and replace them.

Try tapping on the lens area, it might loose something up.

Best I can do, know it aint much ;]

Good luck!

Just confirming that taking the battery out and tapping the base of the camera very gently seems to have corrected the problem. I am slightly worried though as I have started glamour photography and a model costs quite a bit. What happens if camera doesn't work. Would really like to know the reason for the glitch.
