Troubleshoot A Nikon D80

DSLR digital cameras are used by professional photographers as well as hobbyist photographers








The Nikon D80 digital camera is a DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) camera that is used by professional photographers and everyday hobbyists alike. However, as with all electronic devices, it is possible that the camera can malfunction, or perform in an unexpected way. To troubleshoot the issue to find a solution when something unexpected happens, it is important to follow a specific procedure. Never try to operate on your camera unless you are positive that you will not harm it; when in doubt, consult a professional camera repair shop.


Instructions


Troubleshoot and Resolve the Issue


1. When the camera is not functioning correctly, try to narrow down where the issue is happening. For example, if you turn it on but the lens does not open, it is likely that there is a problem with the lens-opening device, and you should have it looked at by a professional. If all of your photos are saturated with orange, it is likely that one of the image capture settings, such as aperture or ISO, is not functioning correctly. Once you identify what the issue is, it will be easier to resolve.


2. Consult your camera manual to see if any help is offered in terms of fix the issue at hand. If you do not have your camera manual, you can call the store that sold you the camera and ask if they have a copy, or download it from the Internet. It is available to download at this site: http://www.retrevo.com/search/v2/jsp/mytrevo/myTrevo.jsp?page=man. If the manual offers a solution, follow the steps the manual provides. If that resolves the issue, you are finished.








3. If the manual does not offer a solution, or if the solution does not work, it is best to bring the camera into the store you bought it from, or to a camera repair specialist. Explain the problem, and show the clerk if possible so he or she has a good idea of what the symptoms are.
