[QUOTE="DraganDL, post: 272791, member: 18251"] If "auto" and other "regular" modes failed, you should have tried some "special" or "creative" modes too (I think the D3100 has a "night" and "night+portraiture'' modes). Then, it is a question of WHERE exactly you pointed a camera (you should have chosen the brightest areas, such was this "silver moon" etc., and tried with "spot metering" - if you "aimed" at the darkest part of the sky, no wonder it failed). Another thing: if you couldn't actuate the shutter (so no photo has been made at all), it's because the shutter release is "tied" to the auto focus (consult the corresponding chapter in the user manual). Are you sure you tried with manual focusing too (you said you tried "all sorts of settings")? Pun intended: [url]http://goo.gl/XcbPaM[/url] [/QUOTE]
