I've read a lot of threads here, but i can't still find solutions.

My d3200 was connected to the pc via usb after making some photos and videos, and then, after 4-5 hours, when I was trying to make another video, he told me, that he can not turn live view because of current settings.

Also, i can't manage some menu functions. The camera looks like it still thinks, that it is turned to the PC. May be there is some kind of "Hard reset", or smth.?

I've tried all steps, that i read, trying to find the solution, i've read manual, but there are no use. HELP PLZ D:

sorry for my engl, i have no practice for a while

There is no hard reset. There is a reset of shooting options under the shooting menu and also a reset of setup options under the setup menu. I am not sure these will help. Maybe try removing the battery, but there is an internal backup battery, so that won't be a real reset. Also check your memory card and format in camera if your limited menu will let you. You are not using a WU-1a wireless are you? I heard that will prevent live view.

As for the firmware update, the update menu will only appear if you download an update file and place it on the sd card. When the camera sees the file, the update option will appear.

"Cannot start live view at current settings or under current conditions" - tiuching Lv button
"Playback not currently avaliable" - touching playback button
"This option is not avaliable at current settings or the cameras current state" - formating card, all the buttons at playback menu, about a half of all the buttons at shooting menu (D-Light, ISO, Wh. Balance), Retouch menu is fully unavaliable.

Firmware ver. C 1.00, L 1.006

Now you trying to say, that camera can't see firmware, so can't offer me to install it? :C

Yes, if you did it correctly.... download .exe file.... run on your computer to extract .bin file.... copy .bin to root of sd card.
Here are Nikon instructions for windows and mac:
Updating Digital SLR Camera Firmware Windows
Updating Digital SLR Camera Firmware Mac
Your camera has unsolved problems though. If it is not working properly, firmware update might not work either.

I believe that Live View is disabled when the camera is connected to a PC via USB cable.

I took the battery and card from another d3200, it still unable to turn livewiew, and still have no "Update" button.


Also, it is still making photos, and I can see it, when camera is connected to pc via usb, so we can decide, that hardware may be working properly.


Making both cameras connected I saw, that camera is still thinking, that it is connected to pc. i'm 99% sure. how can i fix it? :C

also we tried to update firmware on another d3200, and it has "Update" button, but if we connect working camera via usb, "Update" button disappears. 99,99% now...
