#63413 Error. Press shutter release button again

Posted by svlieger on 22 July 2019 - 02:55 AM

Hi guys,

I have an issue with my D5300. When I take a photo, I get the 'Error. Press shutter release button again' message and I'm unable to change aperture, shutter speed or other settings. But when I wait untill the screen gets dark and the error message is gone, I can change settings again.

I googled a lot about this error and it looks like many other Nikon users have had this problem. However, my case seems to be a little different. My camera 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 little while or turn the camera off and back on again.

This error appears when I use 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 aperture is fully open.
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, changing SD card and battery), I visited two camera stores and I called the Nikon service point in the Netherlands, but no one knows what's going on. They all advise me to send my camera to Nikon for repair, but as long as I can still take photos I'd like to find out if there's a way to fix it myself. It's only a minor issue.

Does anyone of you guys know what to do?
