    I need help! My camera all of a sudden (maybe my friend dropped my camera I’m not sure) my flash goes up but doesn’t actually work (the light is there but not in the picture when it’s actually being taken ) and now all of my pictures are blurry if not being held PERFECTLY still? It’s lower than iPhone quality or equal. UNLESS it is in very bright sunlight then the pictures turn out great! I have the Nikon d3000. Do you have any advice please!!
