I got the Nikon d3000 for christmas. And i was just taking a normal picture. The setters were on auto which i never use but for some reason i just had it on auto. I took a picture, it worked but then it said error press shutter release button again. And every time i press it it makes a weird noise and doesn't take a picture.i'm really scared that its broken! But i didn't even do anything! It didn't drop or anything! What do i do? Can i fix it? Or call nikon or something?

Turn it off, take the battery out, put it back in, and start it up again. Did it do anything different?

It might be that your camera is trying to turn on the flash automatically, and is being forced to stay closed.
