Nikon CoolPix P5100 Help!?
I bought a Nikon CoolPix P5100 a few months ago, I love the camera, but now I have a error message saying the lens … I have no idea what happened, and no idea hwo to fix it. The aim of simply not coming out, I tried to reconfigure but not seem to work well, I took the battery for a few days, but did nothing. HELP! I really do not want to have to get it replaced as it was a lot of money. If there is a way to fix it without sending the manufacturer please let me know! Thanks
If you have an air blower (the clean computer keyboards), it is possible want to try. blow air into the lens extension and clean. If you can not find one, just use the juicer traditional air for cleaning. If not, then probably due to the expansion of the goal of "spring" was not working. It happened to mine and I was under the guarantee of local store and replaced it. I remembered that did not work the spring before the beach party.
