Good day

My Nikon D610 autofocus is not functioning. I tried all the troubleshooting.
A red glow can be seen across the viewfinder but the lens will not autofocus in viewfinder nor in the live view. You can see a video of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFumnbHwOaA.

The camera was functioning fine the day before and it was not dropped.

I suspect that the focusing screen is misaligned.

Pls advise if you know of any local shops that could fix this. I cannot go to Nikon Nordic as they take a month to fix this. You could email me at kinnith93@gmail.com

Thanks

I assume that the issue is with a D610 and the video of the Canon was for illustration only.

A misaligned focusing screen ought not cause the issue with autofocus as the primary AF array is at the bottom of the camera, reflected by a submirror and the ground glass screen is not involved. Likewise, in live view, the imager is involved and not the ground glass screen nor the primary AF array.

Could the mirror be misaligned or faulty? A faulty mirror would affect both AF systems. If it were misaligned and did not flip up both AF systems would be affected but this occurs mostly after heavy use or drops.

Do you get a sharp live view image with manual focus? Does the mirror flip up for live view AF (it should)?
