In 2019, Nikon is pleased to introduce you with the 6^th generation of the single-digit D series. Since 1990 until now, Nikon has released five single-digit D series generation, but D6 will be the most advanced DSLR from Nikon.

The year 2019 also marks the 60^th anniversary from Nikon F which was the predecessor and inspiration for D series. This company is now developing new AF-S NIKKOR 120 – 300 mm with aperture f/2.8 E FL ED SR VR. The innovation in the new lens will provide greater support for professional photographers in fields who need an impressive camera that can capture image or video accurately and fast in processing.

The long history of camera development from Nikon is more than enough to prove his ability in developing new camera. Nikon is striving to respond to the strict expectations from professional photographers who need a camera with ultimate performance.

When Will This Impressive Camera Will Be Released?

Although D6 Digital SLR camera is still under developing and researching, many rumors stated that this camera will be launched around the Olympic Games. The forthcoming Olympic Games will be held in Tokyo, Japan in 2020 around summer. This is why the AF-S NIKKOR 120 – 300 mm with aperture f/2.8 E FL ED SR VR and the D6 series are intended to provide greater support for professional photographers.

Unfortunately, Nikon has not leaked more detailed information about features and specifications of this most up to date camera. Nikon only issued a photo of black color Digital SLR camera to public and stated that the picture showed a new appearance of the “most advanced DSLR to date”. The ‘title’ gives only a slight information that Nikon will do some improvements in its new DSLR camera.

Many old users of Nikon stated their hopes in this new advanced camera from Nikon. Some predict that Nikon will give a new design to D6 Digital SLR camera by using full-frame mirrorless sports camera equipped with killer autofocus. This is to fulfill the needs of sports photojournalists who must shoot a video in fields for their most up to date publications’ website.

While others hope that Nikon will apply a full frame mirrorless sports camera in D6 generation, many other professionals don’t like the idea of using full frame mirrorless. They stated that at the bottom line, this time not many professionals care to switch their digital SLR camera into full frame mirrorless camera. It is like they have tied with their DSLR.

Professional doesn’t even really care about the latest shiny object. What they really care is trustworthy camera equipment with impressive, proven and reliable performance to shoot every image and video. Let’s hope that Nikon will satisfy users’ expectation by giving what they really need.

Use these tips and enjoy a better chance.

The camera fails to turn on

This problem is not new and mostly it fails to turn on owing to the battery. You must assure that your battery rechargeable pack is charged and also properly inserted.

The camera suddenly turns off 

The problem is that the feature of power saving in Sony camera is set and if you fail to push the button of the camera within the allotted time, it turns off. Sony cameras automatically shut down as the temperatures rise.

Images fail to record

This problem has reasons.

• Firstly, ascertain enough storage space is available in the internal memory or on the memory card.
• Ascertain the mode of shooting is set to ‘movie’ mode.
• The auto-focus camera feature does not have sufficient light to work efficiently.

Images are out of focus

Again here there may be several reasons to go out of focus:

• Ensure you maintain a distance from the subject.
• Choose the right mode so that the lighting conditions match.
• Use auto-focus or center the subject on a subject
• Keep the lens clean as if it is smudged or dirty, it may result in blurry photos

Strange dots are seen

The dots on the screen are due to slight malfunctions. They appear as they are beyond repair.

Cannot access internal memory photos

A memory card is found in most models of the Sony camera and with it, the internal memory cannot be accessible. Thus, take out the memory card and access it.

The indicator of battery charge is wrong

The indicator of battery charge misreads at times and this happens when the camera is used in very low or high temperatures. This problem if experienced in normal temperatures, it means you must discharge the battery fully once and again consider resetting the indicator after recharging the battery next time.  The feature of power saving in Sony camera is set perfectly.

The flash does not fire

Setting the flash to ‘forced off’ mode means it does not fire. You must reset to automatic mode the flash. You can also use a scene mode to shut the flash off or consider some other scene mode. The Sony camera issues are manageable once you know the tricks.

Nevertheless, there is quick shutter repair that can be done as temporary relief. Of course, the time taken is based on the shutter damage level. Preventing your digital camera shutter stuck issue can be simply avoided by making frequent use of your digicam.

Problems faced

• Takes dark or black pictures
• Extremely bright pictures
• Overexposed pictures

A hint:  You can confirm stuck shutter by turning to any other mode of your camera, turn flash off, and look at the lens down and take a picture. If you see a tiny flicker in the lens center as the shutter closes and opens, it indicates proper functioning of the shutter.

Steps to fix a stuck shutter

Step 1 – Features off: Turn the camera features off if you know it will drain the digital camera battery. The features also include LCD and flash. If there is no viewfinder in your camera, you have to keep on the LCD.  If there is image stabilization, turn it off in your digital camera.

Step 2 – Camera Mode: Turn any setting with camera shutter repair but for auto. Your digital camera has a manual mode; you may switch to it if you are uncertain. In the manual mode, you can take pictures.

Step 3 – Battery Door: Open the door of the battery, after 7 seconds after taking a pic or cover for a few seconds and close it. Remember never turn the digicam off. The idea is to interrupt power while it is in the exposure and the power interruption in most cases ‘jog’ open the shutter.

Step 4 – Repeat: Complete the steps mentioned above as the shutter may be yet stuck on the digital camera features.  It is suggested you repeat the steps and continue until the shutter is not stuck any longer. You may also repeat five or twenty times the same process. It depends on the model and the make of your digital camera and the seriousness of the stuck shutter or damaged shutter.

Problems ahead to Know

Smashed glass and lens cap jammed:

At first sight, this is a dramatic problem. You may bump your camera or drop it. It is alright if it has proper protection. Having a lens filter helps a lot.

If you find the lens cap is jammed, take it to a camera store. At the same time, if your camera does not have a protective lens filter or a UV, get one before fixing the issue and evaluate the damage at the camera shop. However, it is best to have a combo of filter and cap offering maximum security.

White Hazy Large area (Exterior Lens Dust):

Small smudges or scratches on the camera lens exterior have nothing to disturb the image quality.  If you are wearing glasses the analogous can happen and this is because small scratches and smudges do not get noticed to your eye unless you seriously concentrate. Yet, it may be tough to spot.

An oily finger may leave on your camera a white haze. If so, use lens cleaner and avoid touching the side of the lens with cleaning cloth that already touched your finger.

Images fine, viewfinder suffers:

The dust is a problematic point. Dust showing on the mirror is annoying as it shows in the viewfinder as well, though your image quality may be clean. However, the mirrorless cameras are not of a problem as nothing gets affected.

First, ascertain the images are clean and you can do this by blowing them on a desktop monitor. It is preferred than inspecting it on an LCD screen.

If it bothers you still apart from the fine quality images, consider thinking twice before using an air blower or a brush. Remember the coating of the mirror gets scratches easily and is fragile. For digital camera problems, at the most start with consulting a camera store nearby and seek help. You can use canned air bottle to clean the camera.

Global Scenario

Global digital camera sales are not exhibiting a promising trend. The global digital camera sales have plummeted by a massive 84% since the year 2010. The digital camera industry was doing very well during 2007 and 2008 when the first generation of smartphones was being launched in the market. According to the data provided by Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA), the global sales for digital cameras peaked in the year 2010 at 121.5 million units. It has since then seen a steady drop year on year and has hit the rock bottom in 2018 with sales of only 19.4 million units. The global digital camera shipments were reduced to only 935,148 units in February 2019, further down from the 1.01 million units shipped in January 2019. A steady decrease was also observed in the interchangeable lens camera market also as global shipments dropped from 798,014 in February 2018 to 521,217 in February 2019.

Reasons for the Drop in Sales

The global digital camera sales peaked in 2010 when the smartphone market was still in nascent stages. The digital camera industry did not face any stiff competition from the smartphone manufacturers and customers had to purchase digital cameras for taking photographs. However, with the advancement of camera technology in smartphones, the dynamics for the digital camera industry changed completely. Customers started preferring to click photographs with their smartphones. With high-resolution camera sensors and AI technology incorporated into smartphone cameras, these cameras can easily compete with some of the best digital cameras in the market. The customers also find it more convenient to use their smartphone for photography on the go, instead of carrying another digital camera with them. it is also more convenient to click photographs on your smartphones and instantly upload them into your social media accounts.

The digital camera industry has to either diversify their businesses and look for other revenue streams like Canon diversified with printers. They can also provide unique and more refined products to the customers to attract them.
