i turn on camera and get the metering malfunction error. Anyone have idea how to resolve or does it need to go to Nikon.
Did you drop the camera? If you did, it probably needs professional repair.

Here's something that MIGHT work, but don't get your hopes up: With a fully charged battery in the camera go into your menus and select, "Lock Mirror Up for Cleaning". Per the instructions on the LCD, press the shutter button to raise the mirror. Wait a second then shut off the camera. Repeat these steps three, maybe five times, and see if it clears the error. It's a long shot but I've seen it work.

It is new camera. Came on holiday to Canada as soon as went to use the error displays. Even when change lens.
All of the stuff I have read about this problem leads to contacting Nikon Service.
Not great news, but if it is new, I would think Nikon would be able to help.

Welcome aboard. Enjoy the ride.
We look forward to seeing more posts and samples of your work.

Looks like you need to send it to the camera doctor.
