What model is it? Recent Nikon in USA are normally "N(number" like N55, N75 etc. Once we know that we can help. PL |

Change the batteries and then try it out. It could have just been sitting on the shelf too long.. when testing the camera do it outdoors in daylight, in low light indoors the camera may be setting a very low shutter speed, giving the impression the mirror is sticking. Normally the mode dial should be kept on "auto". If it still doesn't work properly it's best to take it to a dealer, these cameras cannot be DIY repaired. PL |
