Nikon Coolpix S220 - Aqua Green 2.5" LCD Digital Camera - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Do you mean the lens, or the LCD screen ? Either way, with equipment this old, repair is not economically viable - get a new one, and treat it with care.

You may be using too slow a shutter speed, resulting in either camera shake or subject movement. See what the manual has to say on this.

well, You didn't say what method you sre using?I will assume a USB cabke, Pick up a Card Reader at Walmarts - they are cheap and easy to use.

i can recommend read very well you owner manual specially the troubleshooting section. The images in the LCD monitor will darken in strong sunlight or bright light. This is a normall occurrence the devices containing CCDS, and doesnot contitute a malfunctions.If you are using too much the flash+zoom, the batteries quicly will drain. maintian another set of batteries for replace, or better buy recharges batteries.God bless you

SD and SDHC 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.

You need to get rid of the pics on the internal memory. With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format". Follow the on-screen instructions to erase the internal memory. After that, your card should work properly.

Hello

Thank you for using FIXYA!!!

This is a suggestion. If you do not feel comfortable trying it, you will need to take the unit to your nearest service centre. Feel free to let me know if you need any assistance.

The problem might be that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. 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 centre 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.

when the lcd screen is black or white,the best solution is for a replacement,change the lcd screen immediately.The nikon s220 lcd screen is not in a high price,you can buy it and fix it by yourself.http://www.skiliwah.cn/http://www.digitalcamera-parts.net/e-mail:[email protected]

Sound like a malfunctioning CCD-image sensor. Rare, but possible problem with your LCD screenviewer... in both cases (LCD or CCD) this isn't a job that you could solve yourself; this wrong include distorted images or abnormal colors, scratchy purple lines, blank or black pictures, and/or black videos with good sound being recorded on the camera's flash card.

I suggest check THIS LINK for additional details in this previous solutions for an Defective CCD (Charge Coupled Device) and next contact your technical service. I strongly suggest (taking into consideration the age of your camera) to evaluate the cost of repair versus the cost of a new camera with similar features, before making a final desicion.

Applied warranty, if underwarranty yet. Dont forgetted to ratings and leave an testimonial comment about this free answer.

Hope this helps.

Confirm the power-on lamp and the monitor are off and open the battery-chamber/ memory card slot cover. Be sure to turn off the camera before opening the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.
Removing Memory Cards 1 Before removing memory cards, turn the camera off and confirm that the power-on lamp and monitor are off. 2 Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover and press the card in to partially eject the card. 3 The card can then be removed by hand. Do not attempt to remove the card at an angle.
Insert the memory card.
4 Slide the memory card in correctly until it clicks into place. 5 Close the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.

I had the same problem and took it over to Nikon service center. They said it is a lens problem and fixed the same for around Rs.2000.

Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended ...
Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try that may (or may not) correct it. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty (or repair cost approaches that of the camera), they're worth that try. Some of the later steps do involve some risk to the camera, so carefully weigh your options before deciding to conduct them.
