Question about Nikon Coolpix 3200 Digital Camera

Clicking noise and shutter wont open

When you turn the camera on it makes quite a loud continuous clicking noise. Also the shutter doesn't open properly so when you take a picture you get dark shadows in the opposite corners. Any Suggestions?

I'm not sure what "clean the assembly" means?
Do I need to take it apart?

Shutter is stuck open on the digital camera w1200. When i turn it on the shutter goes in a little than tries to go out and it makes this weird loud clicking noise and i cant see a screen and when it is...

I think what you're referring to is the lens assembly not moving in and out correctly. The shutter is inside the camera out of view. Go to this website for possible solutions:

When i turn the camara on it makes a loud noise like its trying to open the shutter then it doesnt focus if i zoom in or out.

there might be something in the lens. even a grain of sand to do that. try flushing it out with an air sprayer or dust sprayer.

FujiFilm A850 Clicking Noise... A900 Shutter Turns Itself Off?

It could be the cold affecting them but I suspect it's a battery problem.
If you use normal alkaline AA's then the camera will drain them fast. Try using the lithium type which has a higher Amh for use in high drain electronic gadgets like cameras.
The cold weather will affect things like cameras, especially when you bring them in from the cold after long periods. Condensation will form inside the camera and cause short circuits or component failure unless you allow the camera to aclimatise to room tempreture gradually before using it.
Condensation can also have an effect on the shutter inside the lens. It cannot evaporate well inside the lens unit because it is sealed and so leaves a residue on the shutter leafs that can cause the shutter to either stick or not work fully and you get either wavey lines on the pictures that you take or they come out over exposed or too bright.
Leave the camera for 24 hours at room tempreture and buy ( if you haven't already got) some lithium batteries and then try the camera

Shutter making an extra clicking noise

timndege,
You are taking long exposures over 3 seconds, the camera does make some slight noise while the timer is going through the count down, that is normal, as long as the shutter is doing what it is supposed to do and your image is coming out (and the ones over 3 seconds also) it sounds normal. Only if it is hanging up and taking longer than the time you are describing, then the shutter should be cleaned.

Frozen lens and shutter

Press the power button on and hold it down while extending and twisting the telescopic zoom lens. It might fix your problem. In any case it could not make it worse Good luck!
