[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 4123, member: 654"] Red Kite - The r12 is a buffer indicator and would show up regardless of what the other functions are doing. In most cases the reason a camera won't shoot is because it is not focusing properly. It's the auto focus system that tells the camera not to take a picture until it's in focus. That situation usually happens in low light or you are trying to focus on a very low contrast subject. Try putting the camera on manual focus and see if if it will shoot. My D90 has the focus switch on the lower front left side. I think all the "D" series cameras have the switch in the same place so the D40 should be there as well. Try it and see what happens. Get back to us with the results. Happy shooting, Joseph [/QUOTE]
