Why won't the shutter release on my Nikon Digital Camera?
- NNichole GardnerAug 10, 2025
The shutter may not release on your Nikon digital camera for a couple of reasons. If “J” blinks when you press the shutter button lightly, the flash is recycling and the shutter is locked. Wait for “J” to disappear before shooting. Also, if the green LED blinks quickly, you are too close to the subject. Avoid shooting subjects closer than approximately 0.7m (2.3 ft.) at the 28mm wide-angle setting or 0.75m (2.5 ft.) at the 80mm telephoto setting.
