My camera's shutter will not depress all the way due to a red flash light coming up all the time in the Flash-Ready indicator lamp (refer to pag 28 in the Nikon manual). It can be full sun outside but it will not work due to the red flash light coming on.
A work around is to select a flash mode of 'cancel'.
There is a button toward the front of your camera called the flash mode button. Click that until you see strike mark on the flash icon of your monitor screen (see page 32 in the Nikon manual).
The camera must have a malfunction of determining the lighting so it always thinks you need to have a flash on the picture. Of course this is not 'fixing' the flash/lighting issue but you can take typical day pictures for now with this work around.

I have had a 5400 for a few years. Over the last year 1/2 the CF access door doesn't close all the way. If I close it completely the compact flash card is ejected enough to cause an error on the screen. Of course no pictures can be taken. It must have a faulty spring. Since it's out of warranty IO have to fix myself or pitch the camera. It is very annoying.
