My Nikon P530 keeps switching between modes when turned on. From auto to night back to auto to moon. It will cycle around in the modes, occasionally staying in the one I placed it on, usually auto, long enough for me to get a photo. It mostly does this in the beginning of turning it on, and if I wait it settles down. but then I need to leave it on to avoid going through the process again. And it will still randomly switch around regardless of if I leave it on, just not as much as right after turning it on. Any way I can fix this?

I’ve experienced that it can be caused by the electrical contacts on the bayonet and lense combination. Remove the Camera Body From the Lense.Inspect and wipe clean both the electrical connectors on the body and the lense.
