SOURCE: LCD blank & No picture taken

This appears to be a well known CCD problem, which Nikon acknowledges only for the COOLPIX 3100, 5700 and SQ models. Nikon denies the CCD problems on the 5400 are related, even though a Google search for this problem returns numerous results which claim the same defective Sony CCD sensor was used in the 5400 as was used in the 3100, 5700, and SQ models.

SOURCE: flash on Nikon Coolpix s200 camera not working

hi try to reset ur camera...To do such reset, turn on the camera and hold the menu button down for longer than 5 seconds. A message should hopefully come up on your LCD asking if you want to reset the camera. Select Yes...

Did you see if it is in manual focus mode? Try to switch to auto in the menu, or do a complete reset in the menu. Who knows what the last person was doing when you last used it, hehe

SOURCE: My new nikon coolpix S8000 camera won't turn on.

Make sure to shut the battery door! I had the same problem. The only way to access the a/v out is to open the battery door but you must shut the battery door or it won't charge

SOURCE: my nikon coolpix s8000 shut down by itself

Hello

The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel after dropping it. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.

Use these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.

Firstly , try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.

Try holding the shutter button while switching on the camera.

Look at the lens , and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).

Try gently pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.

Another way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the camera is enough to get things going again.

Try hitting your camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of your hand.

Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair center for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to replace the camera.

If it is still under warranty I would suggest you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.

Hope the advise is useful.

Regards
Andrea

My Nikon Coolpix S8000 is out of focus around edge of photo but fine at centre, on LCD and downloaded pictures.

Try resetting the camera's options to factory default. I hope I haven't misunderstood your problem.

Purchased my nikon coolpix s4100 3 weeks ago and it says battery exhausted. what should i do?

We own a Nikon Coolpix camera as well, which uses regular AA or rechargeable AA batteries.
Assuming you have tried new batteries, (if you haven't, try new alkaline batteries), it's probably time to get a warranty replacement.

You might want to also look at the battery connections inside the camera to make sure they are clean and making good contact with the batteries.

Good luck

How to upload photos form a nikon coolpix S8000 to my 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 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. Or you can use Nikon Transfer or any other photo cataloging program.

The transfer process from my Nikon S8000 to the computer appears to be working normally but the photos are then not on the computer. I have tried changing the destination folder and have tried searching...

It will be better to put the memory card into the PC and straight away load it into the PC without using the transfer cord.
Insert the memory card to the slot of the PC and transfer.
You can for sure have this copied to the destination

My nikon coolpix s8000 will not charge and when i attempt to transfer pictures from the camera onto my computer (which has the nikon software already installed on it) nothing happens.

My daughter drropped her coolpix s8000 camera. It landed on the corner near the flash and bent in a little. The flash would not open up. I had to bend ti back so the flash will now pop up. However,...

I had the same issue, droped camera then even if flash is opened the flash was no triggered. As Paul said I found the sensor for sensing the flash position, I made a few trials then I soldered one pin of the sensor to the sensor's case like in the picture attached. Now is working the flash all the time even if it is closed.... opening the flash is manually.... but still better than without flash at all..
