Hi guys,

I accept an issue with my D5300. When I take a photo, I get the 'Fault. Press shutter release button again' message and I'm unable to change aperture, shutter speed or other settings. Merely when I wait untill the screen gets dark and the mistake message is gone, I tin can modify settings once more.

I googled a lot almost this error and it looks like many other Nikon users accept had this trouble. Notwithstanding, my instance seems to exist a little different. My photographic camera tin can still take photos as it always did, it's just that if I take a photo and want to change settings, I have to wait a picayune while or turn the camera off and back on again.

This error appears when I employ these lenses: Nikon 18-105mm, Nikon 50mm and Sigma 10-20mm. Live view doesn't work at all. I also discovered that I don't get the error when my discontinuity is fully open up.
On my Tamron 70-200mm, I never get the error. Everything works fine, including live view.

I tried several things (camera reset, cleaning the contact points, irresolute SD card and battery), I visited two camera stores and I called the Nikon service signal in the netherlands, just no one knows what'southward going on. They all suggest me to send my camera to Nikon for repair, but every bit long equally I can still accept photos I'd like to find out if there'south a way to fix it myself. It'due south only a minor result.

Does anyone of you guys know what to practise?

I have a similar issue with my D5300.

Small aperture settings create the shutter fault and are cleared by switching back to automatic mode and persisting with the shutter button.

Problem occurs with both my lenses on the D5300 and the lens works perfectly on my D70s.

Tried all the things you have..

Took a series of shots under the same conditions merely reduced aperture successively. At well-nigh f6.seven, the exposure dropped dramatically which matches my experience under normal shooting conditions.

Repeated the experiment on the D70s with the same lens and no dramatic drop off in exposure, it behaved every bit expected.

In agony, stripped the camera down, institute zippo untoward inside, put it back together merely still go the aforementioned printing shutter push fault.

Information technology still shoots fine photos at wide apertures but anything above f8 tin cause issues.

I interesting observations is that the onset of the problem is delayed at longer focal lengths.

Did you resolve your trouble and if so how?

Have either of yous checked that the aperture actuator arm in the body is straight? If information technology doesn't hit the respective lever in the lens straight on, you tin go all kinds of strange, quirky errors.

1 moving picture of the D70s and two of the D5300 levers.

The D5300 lever looks OK to me.

I did apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the red cog shown in the moving-picture show,as per related problems/solutions, but the situation is no better or worse.

I read in another post for another Nikon camera, that someone relaxed the screws that hold the discontinuity control unit together and that made it work. Could it be a upshot of poor quality control that a number of 5300 units suffer this trouble?

Alternatively, a new aperture motor command unit is only $14 from Cathay, I but wonder if it would solve the trouble?

On the basis that they are also readily available on Amazon,  I have decided to buy 1 and see if that solves the problem.

Hi billdaly,

I still haven't found a solution. I checked the aperture actuator arm in the body likewise, but it looks fine to me (it'due south the aforementioned as on your pics).
Last week I brought my camera on holiday and I was able to take photos with it, but the error is only very annoying. And then I think I'1000 gonna ship it back to Nikon for repair.

When I receive the new control unit I propose to dismantle the camera and try relaxing the screws and perhaps lubricate the other parts of the current control unit before attempting to install the new unit.
