Einleitung

There is a gear motor that controls the tripping of the shutter release mechanism. Over time, the gear either gets too tight to flip or becomes contaminated with dust. In this case, the gear just need some light lubrication to restore it back to normal.

    • The second picture shows the bottom plate removed, but this is not necessary and requires intensive disassembling of the camera.

    • Blow out the red gear wheel to clean the wheel from any possible dust or debris.

    • Lubricate the red wheel to lessen the stiffness of the wheel's motion and rotate with the black plastic prying tool.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

I have a d3200 that “at will” will throw this message, so incredibly random. It will be fine then …. the message. Always at the worst moment. I have checked the mirror path and that doesn’t seem to be catching at all. I think I want to try this fix you outlined, but I have. D3200 not a 3000… is everything the same?

Hello there.
I attempt many times to resolve issue on my camera. I tried lubricate red gear wheel, but problem persisting.
Does any other thing I need to do?
