My camera taking black pictures.

Same black picture. I can straight from the one eyed place. Its clear.

Put your camera in "M" mode, momentarily take your lens off and take a quick photo. See if thats black.Its possible your lens is closing fully when you press shutter, maybe?

EXIF data doesn't help much without knowing the lighting conditions you're taking the shot it. It could be f/0.01, 10 hours and ISO 16 billion.... if it's a black cat in a coal mine at midnight, it's still gonna be black.

No its off. The lens cap is off.

Well that's always the first place to start! I've done it.

I removed the lens while on "M" mode and took a picture. It takes a slow picture, i have to wait and,
yes it is still black.

Does this help?

If that's he case your camera probably needs to be seen by a specialist

What could be the problem?

 

[jaomul]

Any input would only be a guess. Your camera is basically a computer that holds lenses. Bring or send it to nikon, it might not be a big problem

 

[tirediron]

Yep... what jaomul said. All of the obvious stuff has been ruled out. Sorry.

Does this help?

No. We need to know what the lighting conditions are where you're trying to take the photo.

Bright sunny day?
Sporting venue?
Indoors with artificial lighting?
Dimly lit stage?

Also, take the lens off and take a shot. Is that still black as well?

 

[Ghoulun1T]

Alright thank you guys. I will take it to Nikon.

 

[snowbear]

Out of curiosity, is the mirror popping up when you hit the shutter release?

 

[480sparky]

Sending it in is nice and all, but keep us in the loop. We wanna know what the problem ends up being so we can help others in the future.

Have you tried a different lens
