Most common questions used to investigate
Is the camera turning ON?
Has the battery been placed correctly in the specified slot?
Has the battery been charged properly?
Does the battery placed in the camera have the same specifications as the battery that should be used?
Is your camera able to take pictures?
Is there a memory card placed into the slot specified on the camera?
Has the lens been configured to focus properly using manual focus settings?
Are the pictures that have been taken too dark or too bright?
Has the shutter speed been configured appropriately?
Has the aperture been set properly?
Has the ISO been configured to a proper amount?
Do the pictures that have been taken appear to be blurred?
Is the camera's flash turning ON?
Is there some type of noise/mark appearing in the images taken?
Common conclusions
First place the battery according to the specified position then try again.
Charge the battery with the provided charger and try again.
Replace the battery with one that is correct according to the requirements and then try again.
Contact the original manufacturer and file a request for service or contact a professional.
A dslr requires a memory card to store the pictures. Purchase a memory card according to the specifications, place it in the camera and try again.
Each dslr has an in-built feature which stops the camera from taking a picture if it is out of focus. Manually set the focus dial or flip the focus from manual to automatic.
Set the shutter speed because if it is too high, the image taken will be too dark and if the speed is too low, the image will be too bright.
First set the aperture properly according to the on-coming light indicator on the main screen and then try again.
First set the ISO properly as greater ISO means greater light (and vice-versa) and then try again.
Set the shutter speed accordingly as lower shutter speed makes the images blurry.
Press the flash button on the side of the camera and it should pop up. If not check the internal configurations of the camera by accessing them from the main menu.
If the shutter speed is to low the image may capture some moving objects in front of the camera. If not clean the lens of the camera or get the internal glass/lens panels cleaned by a professional.
For any further in-depth problems and solutions, contact the original manufacturer or a professional.
