[QUOTE="chssvl, post: 725470, member: 47903"] Hi all. First post here I have a d3100, which I had looked after with lots of care but the other day as I was taking something out of the wardrobe I accidentally dropped it :( The outer window over the screen cracked, but the screen works. However, the really serious issue is that it is no longer auto-focusing when using the viewfinder. The lens just goes back and forth all the way but doesn’t focus. If I switch to manual focus, it does seem to take good pictures, albeit a bit over exposed (just need to adjust by a couple of stops and it is fine). However, if I use the LCD it seems to work just fine (both in terms of metering and auto focus). I’ve tried resetting the camera and have also used a compressed air can to clean behind the mirror but no luck. Is it the end of my camera? thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
