Nikon D3100 shutter sound afftects my pictures?
I really don't know much about photography yet, my class starts in November and I just got the D3100.
his past weekend I was taking photos just fine, several of them in fact. I went to take more photos a few days later and after 2 or 3 the shutter sounded like it was taking an eternity and I was getting overexposed photos. Severly overexposed photos. I would leave the camera on a tripod in bright sunlight and still couldn't take a picture of a fence without it looking like a white blob. I've tried changing settings including my ISO (because that's the only thing I changed from the weekend until then). My battery was running a bit low so I tried recharging it, that didn't fix anything. I reformated the memory card and that didn't work. I cleaned my lens, that didn't work. I tried resetting factory settings, that didn't work. Is there anything else I can try? Is there a flaw with my camera?
Added (1). I do not have the focus at Auto. I'll try reading over the manual. I think it may have been a wrong setting as I was setting it up when I first got it, and I want to reset the camera to factory settings. Do you know how to?

Christmas present for my aunt with kids photo ideas?
So i know its not that close to Christmas yet but I like to get the job done early. Anyways my aunt has three kids ( two boys ages six and eight, and a baby girl about 18 months) And I have a Nikon D5000 and I was thinking to take the kids to my grandmas house when there are more leaves on the ground and take cute pictures of them and then get a cute multiple picture frame for the pictures and thats the present… At my grandmas house she has a pasture, sheep, goats, chickens, a minature horse, and a tire swing, playground set up. So what could I have the kids do? Got any ideas?
Why is my nikon d3000 screen not working?
Why is my nikon d3000 screen not working?
Added (1). I'm not an idiot, I know that this model does not allow you to view what the lens is seeing from the LCD screen before I take the picture. The problem I'm having is that the screen does not show anything at all-- the menu or the pictures that I have already taken after I summon the "play" function. Does anyone have any USEFUL non-condescending advice?

I have been taking photos at my sons Football games, after half time the pics are super blurry. I have a Nikon D5000 w/ 55-200 lens. My question is: Is there a certain setting I could use so the pics will not be blurs running by? I use the auto setting mostly but have also tried the sport setting.
