  Amber HarrisAug 23, 2025
  If your Nikon Digital Camera is on but not responding, first wait for any recording to end. If the issue continues, turn the camera off. If it still doesn't turn off, remove and reinsert the battery (or batteries). If you're using an AC adapter, disconnect and reconnect it. Note that while any data currently being recorded will be lost, data already recorded will not be affected.
