I have a question regarding a functional problem with my camera.
I’ve had my Nikon D-80 for several years and have taken
thousands of photos with virtually no camera problems.
Last week while on vacation, I started getting an error message and I don’t know why.
For about a day, it would make a “different” sound as I pushed the shutter release and it would not take the picture. I tried again and it did take a photo successfully. Then, it simply quit.
The battery is fully charged. I did a reset function but still no luck. I inspected my lenses and changed them several times. Still wouldn’t work.
Is there any advise that you can give me before I take it in to my camera store?
Appreciate the help.
Dave

I think the shutter has finally given up on you. But it is replaceable.

lookin your manual undertroubleshooting forthe specific error message you were getting.

I have a d80 with operational problems that I hope to solve with a d400, but my daughter had difficulty like yours with her d70. the problem was solved with a new battery even though the camera said her battery was fully charged.

Email rjriggins11@comcast.net. He does camera repair and is a participant in this forum. Good work and good prices.

Had the same thing happen to me..sent it to Nikon repair in California...good as new. They will give you a quote before doing the work.

The same thing happened to mine. If you got a "Err" msg, the manual refers you to a repair or sevice center. Mine had the shutter /aperature assembly repaird...cost $200.

Thanks for everyone's help with your experiences and suggestions regarding my D-80 problem.

Now I have to make a decision which includes upgrading to a new Nikon.

Thanks again,

Dave
