Introduction
There is a gear motor that controls the tripping of the shutter release mechanism. Over time, the gear either gets too tight to flip or becomes contaminated with dust. In this case, the gear just need some light lubrication to restore it back to normal.

I have a d3200 that “at will” will throw this message, so incredibly random. It will be fine then …. the message. Always at the worst moment. I have checked the mirror path and that doesn’t seem to be catching at all. I think I want to try this fix you outlined, but I have. D3200 not a 3000… is everything the same?
Hello there.
I attempt many times to resolve issue on my camera. I tried lubricate red gear wheel, but problem persisting.
Does any other thing I need to do?
