20 Most Recent Nikon COOLPIX L100 Digital Camera - Page 7 Questions & Answers

How old is your camera already? Electronic gadgets powered by lithium ion batteries dies over time. if you had your camera and battery for over quite some time now say like a year or so, maybe the cells were drained dead and uncapable of holding electrical charge anymore. If that is the case you might consider replacing your camera battery with a fresh one.

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.

You can also use software such as Nikon Transfer instead of drag&drop. You can get the latest versions of all Nikon software from http://support.nikontech.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/61

Time to start using a separate card reader.

Are you sure it's really turning off? My camera goes into a "sleep" or power down mode....a slight pressure on the shutter button wakes it up and it's ready to shoot.

have you read the instruction? some lines may apear on screen when taking photos in sport scene when shootin on a hard light side... try to not shoot the sun or lights... and try to use another scene

Make sure you are using rechargable batteries. Normal batteries are not strong enough. Try using either rechargable Lithium Ion batteries, or rechargable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. These are much stronger and should give you a good battery life.

Take it back.

You have two options.

1) From the Setup menu choose the Copy option and use it to copy pictures from the internal memory to the memory card. Once done you can download the pictures from the memory card as usual.

2) Remove the memory card, if any, and then connect the camera to the computer using the supplied USB cable. You can then download the pictures from there.

Start using a card reader.

do you format it in the computer? or on the camera? have you tried formatting the card on the camera, through the computer? is it the right kind? backwards?

Use a card reader instead of your camera.
