Camera will not turn on
The camera does not respond and it shows no signs of any activity when it's turned ON.
Take a test shot
Take a quick test shot and if it works it's not the battery, the issue might be with the display.
Check the ON switch
Make sure the ON switch is completely clicked into place. The camera will not turn on if the switch is half way into the ON and OFF position.
Check the battery
The battery might not be properly inserted. Make sure the direction of the battery is correct; positive with positive marks match.
Your battery might need to be recharged. Do a full charge on the battery and try turning on your camera. If it does not turn on, you might need a replacement battery using this guide.
The battery was replaced, it's still not turning on
There are no signs of energy or flow in the camera.
Check the user's manual
Refer to the user's manual found here. You might need to replace the motherboard and you can use this guide to do so.
Motherboard was replaced still having issues
If you're able to take photos, but you're unable to see anything on the screen. You might have a faulty LCD screen. You can replace the screen using this guide.
Camera takes a long time to turn on
The camera seems sluggish when it's powered on.
Check the memory card
Make sure the memory card is inserted correctly. Also make sure it is not locked: take out the memory card, make sure the 'Lock' tab is off, and reinsert into the camera.
Check memory card files
Look through the memory card to check if it is full; if it is full, then delete files/folders to free up storage. You can delete the photos or use a new memory card. Use this guide to replace the memory card.
Photos are blurry
The camera and lens do not come to a focus.
Clean the lens
The outer lens may be dirty. Carefully detach the outer lens, and with a microfiber cloth, lightly rub the inside and outside of the lens. Reattach when complete.
Check auto focus settings
The auto focus settings switch may not be locked into place. Make sure it is fully into position. Make sure you are not on manual focus.
Camera will not enable deleting photos
I cleared all the pictures but there are some that will not be erased.
Pictures may be protected
Select the picture, use the menu options to un-protect the picture on the screen.
Memory Card is locked
Take out the memory card, make sure the 'Lock' tab is off, and reinsert into the camera.

Think my camera may be faulty - I have tried every possible way to delete photos and then message says 'no files', so it appears to have worked, then when I turn the camera back on all the photos are back. This can't be right? Even after formatting card, etc? Haunted camera?! Can anyone advise me on this? Thanks.

Guessing your camera is on manual focus and not auto

take the sd card and put it into a laptop or other 'real' computer, then do a 'format' on it. use the 'FAT' method, leave the options to 'default', but check the 'quick format' setting.

When I look through the screen, the image is divided in half; one side dark, one side light and the picture transfer that way to my computer. The camera, Nikon D3200, is just over a year , but this started months before. Just to dumb to take care of is sooner. Help!

When I install a lens the menu screen goes blank and nothing will function. I have three lens it does the same thing for each lens. When the camera is on and no lens attached, the menu screen is visible, but still cannot do anything unless the lens is attached. Any suggestion, I love this camera.

Despite all the shortcomings of this camera, I use it very often and I like it very much. It is relatively cheap and worth the money. I recommend it to my friends. I especially like the way it takes portrait photos

I ordered and replaced the battery in my camera (D3200) thinking it might be the reason why the camera will not turn on…still nothing. What could cause this to happen? I have had my camera for over 10 years and it took amazing photos. Never any problems with the camera.

I've had this camera for several years and it has always worked flawlessly, but I had to store it for a few months and now when I try to take photos they are just black images? Changing the settings doesn't help. It turns on fine, and the option to view previous photos on the SD card works fine. What could it be?!

Hello, my D3200 suddenly started increasing shutter speeds on it’s own and then the command dial too stopped working. When I turn the command dial the numbers appear as if they are trying to change but don’t, this is my only camera and am dying here!

My friend has the D3200 (I have the D810 and D850) and texted me with her problem hoping I could help. Here’s the issue in her words, “After you take the photo it spins and won't show photo in screen. Then have to take card out before taking new ones. I've tried several discs.” Any thoughts as she not here and can’t bring the camera to me? Thanks.
