Nikon d3100 turn off problem
Dec 13, 2016 16:08:35 #
Please help... I have borrowed my brothers camera and as far as I remember from using it before (about one year ago) when I turn the whole camera off with the zoom lens in the out position, the lens would retract back into the original position automatically. Am I imaginging this? It's just that this no longer happens, I need to manually twist the lens back into original position when I switch it off.
I am using lens 18-55 and also 70-300
Please forgive that I know nothing about cameras but I'm so worried I've broken something that isn't mine aaargh my brother will be disappointed if I have.
Please help me someone
Thankyou

I'm not familiar with the D3100, but I have had a D90, D7000 and a D600, and currently have a D7200 and a Df. On none of those did/do a zoom lens retract when being shut off. This leads me to believe that it probably doesn't on the D3100 either.

Oh Thankyou for your reply!! This makes me feel a bit better about things. I'm not sure why I thought it did.

The lens is not broken. Your memory is just a bit off. You do need to manually retract the lens.

Compact permanent lens cameras do that - not DSLRs.

My 10-100 video lens on my Nikon 1 system V1 does that also Jerry. Retracts when you turn the camera off. But that's one of Nikon's mirrorless cameras.
