Nikon COOLPIX L3 Digital Camera - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Non Credo che ci sia un'opzione per scegliere la memoria dove salvare, quando si riempie la memoria interna automaticamente va a salvare nella memoria esterna... Fammi sapere ciaoIn English: I don't think there is an option to choose the memory where to save, when the internal memory is filled it automatically goes to save in the external memory ... Let me know bye

How could I resist assisting someone with the handle 'Charm City'? What I would advise is getting some good quality 2300 mAH or 2500 mAh re-chargeable batteries - although all batteries have a nominal 1.5v output, not all can provide the sustained power necessary for the camera.

I banged mine around several times and tried to force the retractable lens in and out. Neither of these things worked. I finally thought "what the heck it's broken anyway" and used a bobby pin to try to force the outer lens cover off. After applying just slight pressure it unjambed the lens cover and it works fine now.

Most camera battery compartments have "raised lines" on the cover. They usually suggest that you put your finger or thumb on that surface and push with a sliding motion to open the cover. Again, there are many different models, but the Coolpix I have seen have that kind of opening device. Hope this helps!

The multi selector is the round control on the rear of the camera with the OK button in its center. The flash mode button is the top button on the selector, it has a lightning flash icon. Press the flash mode button on the multi selector. Highlight the desired mode and press the center of the multi selector. The flash modes are: AUTO; Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor. AUTO WITH RED-EYE REDUCTION; Reduces "red eye" in portraits. OFF; Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor. FILL FLASH; Flash fires whenever picture is taken. Use to "fill-in" (illuminate) shadows and back-lit subjects. SLOW SYNC; Flash illuminates mainsubject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim light The selected flash mode icon appears at the top of the monitor.

Are you using View NX software for transferring files......or copy directly from memory card. Trying a card reader is an easy way....

Here is problem with gear. Something is broken or out of his position. Cameras with moving lenses have often this problem. Enough is little knock and thats it. Mine vas broken, when the child got up from the table, press the on button and and do not let the lens come out. I got to hear the crackly noice and thats all...After that im using cameras like Pentax W 90...

What type and size memory card? The L3 works with SD cards, 2GB or smaller. It will not work with higher-capacity SDHC cards.

It worked. I just gently nudgged the extended(stuck) lens to one side by hand. (the side which had the gap.) There was a click sound and the lense housing fell back in place. Sweitched off and switched on again and the lense started working fine. thanks.

This camera needs to be sent away for repairs. Just like a motor vehicle, some repairs to your camera require a technical specialist to fix your problem.

Sounds like the iris is stuck shut - the lens needs to be replaced.

Try these procedures.

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 or FireWire). 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 cataloging program such as Nikon Transfer and Picasa.

This is a common situation with most compact point&shoot cameras. This "shutter lag" is because the camera has to do so much work when you press the shutter release button: focus on the subject, meter the light for proper exposure, and switch the electronics from viewing on the LCD to recording to memory. Larger (and more expensive) cameras have additional hardware to reduce this lag.You can reduce the lag somewhat by anticipating the action. Press the shutter release button halfway to focus and meter. Keep it pressed halfway until the right moment, then press it the rest of the way to take the picture.
