Is the issue with the connector resolved, or is there still a chance the metal part will come off and stay in the camera?

So far so good.....it is a snug fit and I am careful to make sure it is inserted correct....if you jam it in backwards that could result in damage

Hey there, I just had this same thing happen to my camera!!! The camera was not dropped or anything and it seemed to just appear out of the blue. One minute I am taking pictures and it looked fine, then I look down and the screen internally is cracked, the outside of the LCD does not have a scatch on it. I am about to send it off to Olympus to get a warrentyl repair, but could use any other instances of this happening as evidence that this is not my fault. Please let me know what you were able to get done. Thanks, Nick

No, we have never encountered this issue. We use the camera frequently for road and mountain biking. If you move/shake the camera while just holding it in hand I would say may be a manufacturing issue, I would return and request replacement. We have not had any issue with this camera and love it!

It has a thick clear plastic coating over the metallic pieces. As long as the coating is intact it should be fine. We've used 3 of these, heavy use, 2 have stayed intact for years, but on 1 the plastic has split open. Oddly it is the newest one I've had & I cut off the loose part of the plastic. Don't think it's steel, it's a very polished smooth metal, but not sure. Time will tell if perspiration causes a problem. One thing though, don't wrap the strap tight around the camera to store it. It bends/kinks the plastic in the same places over & over. I think this can cause the plastic to crack & fail evenutally, It has a thick clear plastic coating over the metallic pieces.

I had no issues with mine. If it got put on a little cock-eyed and the threads aren't lined up right, it could seem stuck. I wish I could help. Maybe a local camera store could give you more help without ruining your threads. Good luck.

the camera slot is in the middle and your camera is to the side,so that is a problem .Other slots may not align,do check that.

Mine stopped working. I think the connection between the camera and the A/C adapter was getting moisture or something in there that would cause the camera to go off. When I got it working again I insulated the connection with a plastic bag and wrapped it all up in duct tape. Seems to be working.... for now...

Sorry. I can't answer that; my camera has never given me reason to send it in for repair...

Did you drop the camera? Probably you have a mechanical problem , should be easy to fix

Usually there is a little rubber cover over the hole for connection. Look in the hole and see what it looks like and compare it to the end on the shutter release. Not all are the same for the different models and very frustrating.

It's probably stuck, wedge a paper clip or small flat head screw driver in flash slot and wiggle it out gently. If this doesn't work send it back to Nikon, that part is under warranty.

Hi - I do not think this is "normal" - mine didn't rattle - that sounds to me like the camera has something broken inside. I would return and get a replacement. It may work great now....but what about the future? However, I am no expert. Best of luck

It connected perfectly but the camera came back with a message that it did not recognize the lens and would not take a picture. I have not set the camera in the total manual mode to try that yet and that may be the answer. However, since the connectors are so thick they make the camera with the attached lens very uncomfortable. Hope this helps.

it is a little metal part, but seems to me that this part is attached to the plastic cage of the camera. not to robust though... SEEMS TO ME...

The fix is real easy. No need to take the camera apart. Order the Shutter Button Release Assembly from Sony. Cost was around $18.00 + tax + Shipping. I received the new assembly in one week. Note the angle of the old assembly before removing it so that you can line up the new one correctly. To remove the old button assembly, use a rubber bottle opener to get a good grip. Turn slightly counter clockwise. Then use your fingernail to lift it up. Look inside using a magnifing (sp) glass and find the pieces that broke off, a spring, a small plastic tip and a small snap ring. Look at the opening and you'll notice two slots, that's where the two little feet will line up. Again using the rubber bottle opener and pressing down slightly, turn the new assembly clockwise. You'll feel it. Make sure to clean out the pieces that broke off. I couldn't find the spring, now I can't use that little wheel to bring the viewfinder into focus for my eye. LCD is still sharp as are the pictures. Just the viewfinder. Good luck. June Sat, 18 Aug 2007 18:50:55 +0000 Whoops: x21083252 Sony Direct Accessories

Yes. But be careful to thread it the right way, because I didn't at first and the camera fell right off. Thankfully it wasn't broken, and I fixed the strap, and I haven't had a problem since!
