Nikon coolpix 5700 When switched on the view finder and the screen display information but no immage. In outher words the screen lights up but is blank. Please help.

You probably turned the dioptri-adjust button, next to viewfinder, by mistake. Turn it back until the viewfinder is sharp.

There is a recall out on that camera. Go to Nikon for the details and fix: http://www.nikonusa.com/Service-And-Support/Service-Advisories/COOLPIX-Service-Advisory.page

Contact Nikon. There is a known componant problem with this camera (see Nikon onlin support page ). It will be repaired free of charge even if it is out of warantee.

The problem you are having is the bad ccd board . It is covered underr a recall notice from NIKON .


Just send it in

at the back of the camera next to the view finder (bottom right hand corner) is a button and icon marked SEL. pressing this button toggles the lens image from the view finder to the lcd screen and back again. IF neither view is available then I suspect your camera needs some TLC at a repair shop. hope this helps.

I fear that your camera is having damaged CCD. Pls contact nikon service centre for free repairs as it is a manufacturing defect.
