Nikon Coolpix L810: Won't take pictures when I press the shutter release button

Sat, 14 May 2016 11:22:24 -0700

When I'm ready to take a photo and the subject is in focus, I press the shutter release button, and nothing happens.

This problem would happen periodically but became more frequent and now it does not function at all.

Nikon Coolpix P90: Why doesn't my camera's flash work anymore?

Wed, 18 Feb 2015 22:13:03 -0700

I mainly only use my camera to take pictures and the flash would work perfectly fine, but once I switched over to the video setting the flash stopped working.

When I first started taking video, the flash would not come on at all and after a couple attempts to get the flash working, I switched back over to Auto and the flash still won't turn on.

Before I switched over to video, the flash was working just as it should. I've had my camera for a while; do I need to replace the flash bulb?

Sony Cyber-shot: Anyone replaced a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-M1 CCD sensor?

Thu, 26 Dec 2024 21:06:38 -0700

This is my cameras problem-

If the LCD screen on your DSC-M1 is solid black, or pink and purple running paint when you try to take a picture, you can see the menus perfectly fine & can still play back old images, You have a defective CCD sensor.

Has anyone fixed this and does anyone have a repair manual?

Kodak DC240 Zoom: Cannot get a clear image thru the eye piece

Thu, 26 Dec 2013 14:18:58 -0700

I got my kit in for doing tear down and repair manuals and hooked up my camera and ran into problems. This is an older camera that's been sitting for about four years. When I look thru the eyepiece it will not focus. The auto focus on the lens appears to be working. I've taken some pictures and the pictures are much clearer than what I can see, which is totally blurred. I've gone over it with compressed air and cleaned the external as well as possible. Another problem is that the pictures are dim and yellow to orange tinted even when using very bright flood lights. Any suggestions would be welcome. The manuals will have to wait if it's "buy a new camera".
