Top 20 Nikon Coolpix S3000 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

There are several questions that have already been asked AND answered about lens error, please see those answers.

1) Please charge the camera and make sure the GREEN LED flashes. 2) When the green LED STOPS flashing disconnect the camera from the charger and wait a few seconds. 3) Now that the Camera is off attempt to turn it on. It is in a half way on while charging and you cannot 'turn it on'. 4) In review: Charge it, Disconnect it and turn it on.

Check the output Amperage on the original dedicated charger and what you wanna use as replacement. Some devices does not like over amperage and others the under amperage... Otherwise it shouldn't affect anything if you use other chargers.

You cannot create new folders on an SD card and copy images to them, as the camera will not recognise them, since they were not create in the camera. Copy the entire contents of the card to a folder on your HDD, then format the card in the camera.

hi, lens error occur normally when it fell or the lens shaken, if so open the camera, take the lens unit out, disassemble the lens unit, then fix it again properly. example below: (this is not the told model)

usually caused by particles in the lens advance and retraction mechanism.may need cleaning by expert.but first try to GENTLY pull the advanced lense out up to fully out position.note the word GENTLY,otherwise the camera will be ruined.

Did you install the Nikon ViewNX 2 before you connect the camera? Are you sure there are pictures on the memory card? When you don't know where you left the CD with the software, you can download it for free from this Nikon site: Current versions of Nikon software Nikon Knowledgebase

This reason might be because of Virus in your memory cards the best option is.. try formatting the memory card or use different SD card, and reset your camera settings

Please try this: 1) Make sure camera is OFF. 2) Plug Charger into the wall (not into camera) 3) Last think plug charger into the camera

Go into your menu screen. Scroll down until you see a black block with a C in it.That is the "Reset All" selection. That resets the camera to factory defaults and the default language is English.

That is a setting in most cases. It is in TOOLS. If the setting is OFF it will not recharge via the computer. In most cases... Press Menu (then got on left to TOOLS) as it looks like a wrench. Then go to 'Charge by Computer' set it to "AUTO" or ON/YES.

The problem may be with your battery charger rather then the battery itself. I don't know if you are charging your battery in the camera or with a separate charger. In either case I would buy an external charger. If you don't want to spend Nikon money. Adorama.com has several models in the $20 range. Try charging your battery in a new charger. If that does not solve the problem, there may be a short circuit in your camera's electronics that is draining the battery. If that is the case, contact the Nikon USA Service Center (look on the Nikon website) for a repair estimate.

Do you REALLY want a driver? 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 any photo management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

If it works in the morning (when it is presumably cold) and not in the afternoon when it is hot, it is possibly a temperature sensitivity issue in the electronics. I would contact Nikon Support ASAP because your warranty is about to expire. There number is 1-800-645-6687 and the are open 9AM to 8PM EST, Monday to Friday.

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

You will probably have to put the card into your computer and do it from there.

The battery is used byond limit. give the battery for a boosting(little higher voltage charging). after that it will charge normally.
