My nikon 55-200 zoom lens is stuck at full zoom
Don't force it.
Did you get dust or dirt in it?
The only solution is to bring it in for service or send it to Nikon if it is a USA model.
Nikon USA will NOT repair any gray market items.

Clean inside lens fungus
Whatever you do, do not open the lens. You will never be able to reassemble it. If the fungus is adversely affecting your images, you need to take it to a qualified camera repair man or send it to a Nikon repair depot found on the Nikon website. If it is not affecting your pictures, I would just live with it.

Clean inside lens fungus
If you realy have fungus in your zoom lens, you can't do anything. If it does not show on the pictures, just keep the lens dry. (use silica gel) If you want it it be repaired, it will cost more than an new lens.

Nikon 55-200 is locked on 55 and won't extend to
Assuming that you've already tried a good firm hand on the zoom ring then all you can realistically try is to give the lens a few good firm slaps onto a desk to try and free up whatever has gone wrong. Brute force usually sorts them out, but it is "kill or cure". This lens lacks a macro mode, so this is not the usual simple case of adjusting a lens control and then slapping your forehead with embarrassment...
The lens is otherwise uneconomic to repair as it's one of the cheaply built kit lenses and so you can easily obtain another for less than the cost of repairs.

Squeaking when try to focus. will not focus
My lens is also doing that same thing... and I just posted pretty much the exact thing you said...Mine squeaks and goes in and out really fast.. I do know that you can put the camera on manual mode and focus manually on mine, but would like to have the auto focus sometimes too. If I dont get an answer soon, I may send it in... I believe its a motor problem in the lens....

Is is worth fixing?
infopgdesign,
That's a close call, depending on how bad the housing is broken, there may be lens alignment issues, the adapter ring or the housing body may be cracked, take it in to a shop so they can look it over closely to help you decide if you should send it to Nikon for repair which depending on the severity of the damage will determine the cost. if it's close to what you paid for the lens, save your money and buy a replacement, maybe the VR version of that lens if it wasn't.

How to achieve full zoom with a Nikon 55-200mmf/4-5.6G ED lens?!
1) What camera body are you using?
2) I do not understand your assertion that it automatically zoomed in. Zooming is a manual function. The automatic functions of your lens pertain only to focusing on of the subject so that your picture is sharp and ensuring that the correct amount of light is admitted so that you have a correct exposure.
3) Are you sure you were turning the zoom ring and not the f-stop ring? The zoom ring is labeled 200 on one end of the scale and 55 on the other. It is also the widest ring on the lens barrel. When you rotate it, the physical length of the lens will lengthen as you rotate it clockwise (viewed from behind the camera) and shorten as you rotate it counter-clockwise.
4) For reference, at 200mm the angle of view on your lens should be 10 degrees and at 55mm about 40 degrees.

How to collimate Nikon Venturer II10x23 6.3 degrees compact binoculars?
Here are the steps to collimate your Nikon Venturer II10x23 6.3 degrees compact binoculars:
1. Adjust the diopter: The diopter adjustment is usually located on the right eyepiece, and it helps to adjust the focus of the image for your right eye. Close your left eye and adjust the focus of the right barrel using the diopter adjustment until the image is clear.
2. Look at a distant object: Choose a distant object, such as a building or tree, and focus on it using both barrels. Keep your eyes on the object while you perform the next step.
3. Adjust the barrel alignment screws: The barrel alignment screws are located on the hinge that connects the two barrels. You may need a small screwdriver to adjust them. Use the screws to adjust the alignment of the barrels until the images in both barrels are aligned. If the image on the right barrel is above and to the right of the image in the left barrel, you need to adjust the right barrel downwards and to the left.
4. Test your binoculars: Once you have adjusted the alignment screws, check the alignment of the barrels again by looking at a distant object. If necessary, make further adjustments until the images are aligned.
5. Repeat the process: Over time, the alignment of your binoculars may shift slightly, so it's a good idea to check the alignment periodically and make adjustments as needed.

Nikon coolpix s210 displays out of memory on screen, cannot take pictures.
Out of memory could mean that your memory card is full and you cannot take any additional pictures until you either replace the card with a new one, or delete or reformat the card you have in it. It could also mean that your card is "locked". Check for the little toggle switch on the side of the card to be sure it is in the "unlocked" position. Or it could mean that you do NOT have a memory card in the camera at all and you're using the very small internal memory your camera comes with (it usually will only hold about 4-5 images. If this is the case, put an external memory card in the camera.

Film camera turns off when I press the shutter button.
There are a few potential reasons why your camera might be turning off when you press the shutter button:
- Battery issues: Even if you just replaced the battery, there could be a problem with the connection or the battery itself. Try cleaning the battery contacts and making sure the battery is properly inserted.
- Jammed lens: If the lens is jammed or stuck, it could be causing the camera to shut off as a safety measure. Try gently turning the lens to see if it moves freely or if it's stuck.
- Faulty circuitry: If there is an issue with the camera's circuitry, it could be causing it to shut off when you press the shutter button. This would likely require professional repair.
It's also possible that the problem is related to the new roll of film you inserted. Make sure the film is properly loaded and that the camera is advancing the film properly. If you continue to experience problems, it may be best to take the camera to a professional for repair or to consider purchasing a new camera.

Nikon Coolpix p90 lens error 19
A "lens error 19" message on a Nikon Coolpix P90 camera typically indicates a problem with the lens mechanism and the camera is unable to extend the lens out of the camera body.
This error code could be caused by a number of factors, such as:
- A mechanical malfunction of the lens mechanism,
- A problem with the lens gears or the drive motor that extends the lens,
- Obstruction in the lens barrel that is preventing it from extending properly,
- A malfunction in the camera's firmware.
There are a few troubleshooting steps that you can try before seeking professional repair:
- Make sure the camera battery is fully charged.
- Turn off the camera, then remove the battery and memory card. Wait a few minutes, then reinsert the battery and turn the camera back on.
- Gently tapping the camera on a flat surface to dislodge any dirt or debris that might be blocking the lens.
- Use a can of compressed air to blow any dust out of the lens barrel.
- If the lens barrel seems to be twisted, you can try to gently rotate it back into place.
If none of these steps help, it's likely that the camera will need to be repaired by a professional. It's best to contact Nikon customer service or a local camera repair shop for a diagnosis and estimate for repair.
Please note, opening the camera and tampering with the internal component can further damage the camera and will void any warranty it might have

Nikon D40 screen loop, can't use it
Hi,
Please make sure that the camera has an SD card inserted into it. If it does, then you might have to switch out the current card for a new one.
Thank you.
