Nikon d3100 error - Nikon D3100 Digital Camera

Look here for specs: Nikon D3100

Needs a new aperture base plate, Can only be put in by camera repair person, Major work, At least $ 145.00

You need to try it with different lenses, If it does it with both then its the body, If not then its the lens, Usualy if its the body, Then it has to go to a Camera repair shop like me because the fix is on the side of the mirror box,

Go to Nikon website on your computer and download the language for your Nikon D3100 camera then use the usb cord to install it to your camera. Any problems with this go to ehow.com and they have other solutions too.

It's safe according to the list at http://www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html

You didn't specify the make of the lens. Assuming the lens has a Nikon mount then yes, it will mount on a D3100. The big question is whether it will autofocus on the D3100. The D3100 does not have an autofocus motor, relying on the lens to have one. Not all lenses do. Nikon designates lenses with an autofocus motor as AF-S. Other manufacturers use different designations.
If you need further assistance, feel free to reply to this post and give the make of the lens.

The D3100 is newer, for what it's worth. It has LiveView and video capabilities.

The D3100 is intended for beginners, the D80 for more experienced users. The D3100 is easier to learn, the D80 is easier to use once you learn it. The D3100 is lighter, the D80 is more rugged.

The other major difference is that the D3100 does not have an autofocus motor, depending on the lens to have one. This means that some lenses (those not designated AF-S by Nikon) will not autofocus on the D3100 while they will on the D80.

The ultimate decision is up to you. Only you can decide which features are most important to you. Also, if you can, try to get your hands on the actual cameras. See which one feels more comfortable to you.

hiit is not easy to tell what exact problem. It has quite of causes in your case. But I can only tell most common cause that it is sequence unit fail. It could also other like shutter fail, mirror box mech fail, motor fail, control pcb fail, and so on...etc...I recommended you bring to your local service place or Nikon service center which is helpful to you.
