URGENT- Err message on D7100
Feb 16, 2016 07:47:09 #
This sometimes works. Remove the battery and turn the camera on for about 15 seconds. I've seen the same directions given for solving problems with other electronic gear. Otherwise, get a decent compact camera.

Look at the aperature ring on the lens and make sure its not set to any aperature settings lower than the highest one on the lens aperature ring ON THE LENS itself. Might work............

I would try putting in a new memory card first. What cards are you using? I had a similar message when my SanDisk Card went bad. Swapped it out and all was fine again. "Go Figure!"

MAKE SURE your lenses are properly seated with the aperture ring at its smallest aperture

I forgot to mention that the problem was intermittent. I would turn the camera off, then back on again, it would work for awhile and then the message returned.

If you have a second card install try putting it into the 1st card slot. I had similar problem with my 7200 and that solved it until I put a new card in #1 slot.

Sounds like an electrical connection problem--making and breaking is what we used to call it. In a low humidity air conditioned place carefully clean all electrical contacts. making sure that you leave no residue-do not use a pencil a eraser. Then try a brand new card and fully charged battery. Intermittent problems are a bitch for any one. Hope this helps, If not I guess you will have to send it to Nikon.

I had this message on my 6006 film unit Turns out my autofocus motor was screwed up and I had to shoot manual focus
Also check your lenses if they are set at f22 for autofocus

OP did not specify the "fee" message...and setting to f/22 is no longer necessary with a DSLR Nikon with an AF-D lens.

I haven't seen the "fee" error message in a while. Maybe when using an old Nikkor lens....

Let this be a lesson for all, NEVER, NEVER go on a trip like this without a backup camera even if you have to rent one!
Several years ago (in my younger days) I had a camera (Pentax) crap out on me in the Florida Everglades and the only thing that saved the day was my wife's camera was a Pentax as well. Between the two of us not all was lost......

I had a similar issue on my D3100. Try removing the battery for a few minutes,l then install the battery, go to the camera menu and hit "reset shooting controls. This is what the people at Costco told me to do and it worked like a charm. I now keep a Minute rice bag in my camera bag to suck up any moisture that might enter the camera. Good luck.

I think "fee" means the camera is no longer under warranty, and there will be a "fee" to have it repaired. Or, maybe it means something else.
I wonder why they even bother to use those error messages. If the camera isn't working, that's obvious. Displaying "fee," "err," "99," or anything else is pointless. If the message led to a solution, that would make it worthwhile.
