#1 18 Feb 2011 @ 18:53
bought a nikon camera for my girlfriend at christmas and it was working fine but now when i press the button to shoot a picture the red light comes up but then nothing,sometimes little boxes comes on the screen then nothing again,sometimes the little focus square comes up but then nothing again,,the odd time it does take a picture but its once every 15 mins i get a flash but not sure how it worked,,ive read up the troubleshooting guide but still not getting anywhere,its either broke or just a silly little setting on it but its doing my head in,,,all help appreciated

as it appears to be still under warranty then get it fixed or replaced.
