Nikon COOLPIX S230 Digital Camera - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Probably either local camera dealer or Ebay.

What software are you using? If you are using the ViewNX 2 from Nikon (updated with the patches), it should have the correct date taken information in the EXIF data. However, if you are using the older ViewNX software, then the software can corrupt the EXIF information or merely fails to download it with the picture. I'd suggest you first check if your software is up to date. Try here: https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/61/session/L3RpbWUvMTQ2NTUzMDUwMy9zaWQvTHNYeVZGU20%3D for the current versions of various Nikon software. Please add a comment with the software version that you are using for extra support. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer. The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries. Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use iPhoto or any other photo management program.

Press the menu button. Scroll to the setup menu (monkey wrench symbol). Press the right arrow and scroll down to language. Right arrow again and scroll to the language you want and then press enter (center button).

Go on Nikon's website and find the nearest Nikon Service Center. They can give you a price. However, my educated guess is that will probably cost considerably more then the camera is worth.

Hi please do double checks your battery. Make sure to try it out with the brand new one. The best way is to take it to the repair shop and ask the technician to check the battery condition. Most don't charges money and at the same time they tell you the estimate cost to repair it. sually buy new one is cheaper than repair depends on the camera some may already experience a major problem within electronic board or mechanical which not worst it to repair. Hope this help! terry

Hi The whole assembly has to be replaced. I would consult with the technician and yes it is replaceable only by the proffessional. terry

Look on the nameplate label on the camera's bottom on the opposite end from the screw threads for mounting the camera to a tripod.

On the bottom of your camera, on the side opposite the screw threads for a tripod, you will see a long gray label or plate. Although it may be small and hard to read, it is on that label or plate

nikon camera drivers for laptop? (get pictures off) upgrade firmware for camera? (maybe read SD cards)

remove the update..... look for the previous firmware and re-install.

you memory card needs a data recovery. The files should all be there if you don't overwrite them and can be retrieved. Try your local camera store.

When your flash light (I mean the part that gives the flash) or the capacitor that stores the power for the flash are defect. you won't see a flash. When a red light comes on, when actually the flash should fire, the most likely the capacitor is defect. The electronics sensed it could not reach the voltage needed to fire the flash. It also could mean your battery can't deliver enough to charge the capacitor, but is that was the case the battery indicator should tell you.

The best way to download videos (and pictures) from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire).

Have a Canon Power Shot sx20is. When I switch on the lens moves slightly then viewer says "lens error restart camera". Please help.

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

Try these procedures.

Consider NOT connecting the camera to the computer.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive.

There are also plenty of photo catalog software packages out there, some free, some not, that can transfer and catalog your pictures so you can quickly find pictures from Susie's birthday party, for example. Just do a google search for "photo catalog software". Or you can use NIkon Transfer or any other photo cataloging program.
