  Kurt CantrellAug 22, 2025
  If the monitor on your Nikon Digital Camera is blank, there could be several reasons. First, ensure that the camera is turned on. If it is, check the batteries and replace them if they are exhausted. Also, the camera might be in standby mode to save power; try pressing the shutter-release button halfway. The monitor may also be off, in which case you should press the x button. If the flash lamp is blinking red, wait until it has charged. If the camera is connected to a computer via USB or to a TV via audio/video cable, disconnect it. Finally, if time-lapse or interval timer photography is in progress, wait until it is complete.

  If the flash on your Nikon Digital Camera is not firing, first ensure that the flash is turned on.

Also, if B of focus mode is applied, change the focus mode. If a D mode other than [Time-lapse movieP] is selected, select a different D mode.

  If your Nikon Digital Camera cannot focus, it may be because the subject is not suitable for autofocus. In this case, set [AF assist] in the setup menu to [Auto]. If the AF lamp flickers, ensure the subject is within the focus area when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. If there is a focus error, try turning the camera off and then on again.
