My nikon d80 randomly decided that it won't take pictures. We have a small studio set up in our office to take on the fly packaging and product photos, and after talking to others in the office, this problem has crept up before. Nobody seems to know why, or how it happened or got fixed, so I'm turning to you for help. I'll describe the problem as it happened to me today. I placed our memory card into the camera while it was apparently locked. No big deal, unlock memory card and start again. Now however, I can not get the camera to take a picture. I get everything set up, change my f-stop and exposure settings, go to press the button to snap the photo, and the camera does nothing. It won't even auto focus. So I go to the connected remote to snap the photo. The auto focus works off of the remote, but still the camera refuses to take a picture. I even thought I heard muffled laughter coming from the camera's innards. Can you please help? Please? Please?
Thank you,
Matt
Nope. In fact, it feels like there is no resistance with the button when I try to press it down. Also, when I turn it off, the display screen flashes on and off. Any ideas?

The Canon Speedlite will work, but you won't get the full functionality of a Nikon Speedlight. Most importantly you won't get the through-the-lens metering.
There is not any way anyone other than Nikon could tell you what it will cost. Call Nikon they will only give you an arbitrary estimate. When you send it in they will evaluate it sending you the cost. At that time you decide if you want it fixed. If you decide the cost is to great they mail it back to your. Next; what is your error message?
keep the camera in manual mode and increase ISO more than 800 and shutter speed should be low , for black &white picture go setup in pencil mark & go to black&white option
The short answer to your question is "Yes, but it is not recommended".
The D80 has a number of in-camera settings where you can add a Warm filter to images in your camera. This will sort of remove the blue tint by adding an orange feel to your images.
However, the above will be a very tedious process if you have a lot of pictures. Also, the quality of your pictures will deteriorate if you do this in-camera.. plus you will not see the damage in the small LCD.
Therefore, I recommend you download your pictures to a computer and use an editing program like Aperture or Photoshop to change the tint/modify the white balance of your pictures. Some programs like Lightroom or Adobe Bridge will allow you to do changes to multiple pictures at the same time.

martod,
Every picture looks good on the LCD since it's small, make sure you set your camera to flash, try ISO 200 and if the flash is TTL (thru the Lens) for digital it should adjust to the shot based on your other settings - I'm not familiar with that flash.

Under exposed should be minus not plus number. Lucky you didn't buy Canon 5D or 1D- they have focus and exposure problems.
Hope you are not using the pop flash that is on the camera. If you are, then turn off the Red Eyes Modes. Set camera to manual mode and lower the F number(open up to half or one stop).
What studio lights are you using? Increased the light output of studio by those number and shoot like you normally do.

Hi there Matt.
Does the camera take pictures with the memory card out?
