20 Most Recent Nikon COOLPIX S6000 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

Your SD card may have a greater capacity than the camera can handle - check the max size in the manual.

In the tool menu (wrench) you should be able to find this. Make sure you really want to do this before you reset the camera... you cannot go back after a reset.

You need a program to download your video go to youtube they will do it for you

check your settings (camera connetion settings and also the usb port settings)

It sounds like one of two things. Either there is a short circuit in your camera that is draining the battery or the camera's battery charger circuit is not charging the battery. There are a few things you can do. You can send the camera to Nikon USA for repair (look on the Nikon website for the address the closest repair center). The other thing you could do is buy an inexpensive external charger for the battery and see if the camera works for a resonable period after charging the batteries externally. Adorama.com carries both the Nikon and off brand models and will give you the best price. It that works, you know that the camera's battery charging circuit is the problem. If that is the case, you could pass on repairing the camera and just use the external charger. If that does not solve the problem, the camera will need to be repaired.

To focus lightly press the shutter button (the one that takes pictures). Pushing it half way tells the camera to focus. When you're ready push it the rest of the way in and it should take a nice crisp photo. If not there's a problem. Take it to a repair shop, replace it, just rely on your smartphone, or learn to deal with blurry pictures. I'd personally go with the smartphone as you always need it anyway.

Every rechargeable battery has a certain cycles of charging and discharging the battery. Not two batteries have the same life time. The amount of cycles a battery can have, can be influenced by the user. If you leave a battery without charging or discharging for months or even years, the lifetime can be shortened. That is why most of the time you get warranty on the equipment, but almost never on a battery. (sometimes a warranty of 90 days is given) Still when a battery won't charge, you could check all the parts in the chain. The AC / DC power convertor / charger the power cable. When the light on the charger comes on, you can assume the charger is working. With your camera you charge the battery in the camera. Looks almost the same. As soon as the green light comes on (starts to flash slow) you can assume the AC adopter is working. The charging of a fully discharged battery should take about 4 hours. If the green light goes not flash at all, check the adopter and check the USB cable. Be aware as long as the cable is in the camera, it can't be switched on. So before testing if the battery is charged, remove the USB cable. Last but not least, if you have a multimeter, you could try to measure the voltage of the battery. It should be a little above the 3.7 volt that is printed on the battery. If not you can be sure the battery is no good at all.

even new batteries can die. I only can advice you to try to start a charge cycle a few times in a row, but if the charger does not indicate it is charging, I'm afraid you really have to buy a new battery. I have a Nikon battery that is almost 3 years off age and in the camera it says capacity 100% NEW. But it is used on a regular base and charged regular.

Lucinda, Are you sure the battery is charged and ok? Is there anything you can see or hear when you switch on (try to switch on) the camera?

Get yourself a portable Travel Adapter and Power Convertor. The best one we have found in made by BESTEK 200W Travel Adapter & Power Converter, Model # MRJ201GU. Got mine on Ebay for less than $20.

Unprotect them first. See page 89 of the manual: http://www.nikonusa.com/pdf/manuals/kie88335f7869dfuejdl=-cww2/S6000_EN.pdf

remove memory card ... left or right side of memory you will see one little button slide the button down or up... this button is protected your memory..

Hi, I'd suggest trying a new battery, it sounds like your current battery isn't holding a charge so a new battery would fix that.

Even though the battery appears to be charging it may be shot. Some batteries if they run down too far can not be recharged. You need to try a new battery in the camera.

You don't need any additional software.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 Windows Photo Gallery, Picasa, or Nikon Transfer.You can download any of the other free Nikon programs at the second link above.

The lens of your camera is damaged and needs to be replaced to fix the camera.
