The screen with the functions of the camera is continuously blinking/flashing. How do I fix this? (Btw it was like this after I put the battery in)

try removing & re-installing the batteries Make sure they are properly installed, positive & negative direction Make sure the door is closed tight for a good connection

my camera still works. You may want to check and see if there is a firmware update that might solve your problem.

Yes. Send it back right away. The camera is faulty. Other than that, just to be absolutely sure go into camera settings and reset all to default before you make a final decision.

I was able to replace my battery. But right now its always blinking on one bar. It seems to be charging now though so I will be patient and let it charge. Hope fully bars will return. When its charging the bars blink right? Mine doesn't do that anymore. @Richard L How did it strip the battery case?

I didn't have that problem but there was a glitch in mine which made my screen flicker. I believe that it's a manufacturing issue. If you can't get it to work, is send it back and ask for another one

I found the same to be the issue I had as well as the charging connect becoming loose. If you just received the camera I would try to return it. The one I had worked for two months then it stopped. I caulked it up to lesson leaned

I had the same problem and then the camera stop working all together. Had it for just one week and stopped working.

Jamie, it is caused by low battery, you need to change the batteries. If it's still blinking with no reason, please tell us.

I am having the same problem...in fact, I just went back and reread some of the reviews, because I can't believe I am the only one who is experiencing this. Everyone raves about this camera! I, too, would like to know what I am doing wrong.

I would say try to find a way to reset the camera to all it's default settings to see if it was just something silly you pressed/touched. If that doesn't work, check your return policy. Other than that.....um....try a hammer.

This is a pretty embarrassing story. About 6 months ago the screen went black. I took it to a store. I was going to get a new one. At the shop, it slipped out of my hands and it clattered onto the glass counter top! I turned it on and there was the screen working again! It has been working ever since! I love this camera. Weird, huh?

Try a new battery. Mine has worked fine. Be sure camera is set on remote connection so the remote and camera "see" each other.

I had the same issue. Camera refused to operate. Said it was not a Nikon battery after firmware upgrade.

I think I solved it. Once you clean it as the manual says you need to reset the system. With it plugged in but NOT turned on, put a paperclip or something in the reset button and press the (I think) Timer button. Should work then. The reset procedure I just described is in the manual right after the cleaning instructions.Thats funny V. Montez, I did the same thing - put it away for a cpl months and finally decided to tackle that damn blinking red light. Its all working well now!

First remove lens and set to red F32 and lock and reinstall. If that does not solve the problem. Consider trying this website. If this does not help let me know.http://photographylife.com/how-to-fix-blinking-err-error-on-new-nikon-dslr-cameras

Same problem here! After I opened the box I charged the battery till the light turned green. Put the battery in the camera, put the film pack in, the black film cover came out (so I assume I put the film in right), turned the camera on but all the symbols are blinking and I'm not able to make a picture. After reading here I put the battery again in the charger and now the light turns orange!! But I just took it out because it was green?!?! Now I'm just gonna wait till it's green again and see if it will work. Does anyone have any others tips for me?XO

Touch menu button, then touch the outer ring where the flash indicator it located. When you have selected the mode the camera mode has an automatic flash. This should fix the problem. Each Mode has different flash modes. If this doesn't work for you then it may need factory service. Hope this helps.
