[QUOTE="pnomanikon, post: 745595, member: 43342"] Greetings! I sold my D7200 last year because of weight issues (two shoulder and one elbow surgeries on my right side) and have been using my wife's D3100. Very pleased about 90% of the time, which is pretty good for a cranky old man. Haha! However, it seems like I have been having a problem the past few months on a regular basis. I have the focus set up for Back-Button-Focus, as I did on my D7200. I use the viewfinder, not Live. It worked fine for the past couple of years. I will be taking photos, focus on an element, release the focus button (AE-L / AF-L), re-compose and when I push the shutter release - nothing. Even after repeated attempts and re-focusing, no shutter release. If I shut the camera off and re-start, it will work for awhile. On the D7200, there was a setting to choose between shutter release anytime or only if it was in focus. I do not see that setting on the D3100. This has happened in Auto, Aperture, Shutter Priority modes as well as Portrait, Macro, and Sport custom settings. Any suggestions? Thank you. [/QUOTE]
