20 Most Recent Nikon Coolpix 3200 Digital Camera - Page 9 Questions & Answers

The flash uses more battery than anything else. Try turning off the flash, you may be surprised at the results. The number two power hog is the screen, and it's worthless at the beach or in any bright sunlight. That's why I won't buy a camera that doesn't have a view finder. Still, you should get a lot more than 12 shots from a pair of lithiums. I have a pair of lithiums in a Canon Power Shot that have taken hundreds of stills and quite a bit of video (all outdoors, no flash or screen) and are still usable.

The lense when on zoom was crooked so I gently moved it center and it now works. thanks

take this card outside and insert into a card reader. most of the laptops now days have card readres. u can acess the data that way.

Just getting a car reader will be much easier than trying to take the Coolpix apart and repairing. Also your USB cord could be damaged.

most likely jammed

Hi,
That camera does not support SDHC cards only SD memory cards, take the card back and i expect they will gladly swap it for you.



Regards.

That's because this camera records video only without audio, same as on the 3100.

check any carbon form inside batt. compartment. use NIMH batt

CBCX, efectivamente el error se debe a que el lente se trabo y no pasa las pruebas movimiento iniciales que hace el equipo al encender. Por esta razón aparece el error de 0013. Mi experiencia a sido que el engrane que provee de este movimiento se sale de su posición original provocando que se trabe. Yo tengo una cámara del mismo modelo. El problema se resuelve abriendo la cámara y ajustando el engranaje (Es un pequeño engranaje rojo que esta en la parte superior del lente). Adicionalmente se debe fijar el soporte del engranaje, yo coloque un poco de cinta adhesiva en el soporte del engranaje para que no se mueva nuevamente. Esto en la mayoría de los casos resuelve el problema de manera permanente. Adicionalmente es recomendable actualizar la última versión de firmware del equipo.
Como referencia, he descubierto que si estas en el campo tomando fotografías y te ocurre el problema, si le das un golpe firme con el pulgar, en la parte delantera de la cámara justo entre el flash y el emisor para el ajuste del foco el problema también se solventa de forma temporal ya que el engrane entra nuevamente en posición. Puedes hacerlo también dentro del estuche de la cámara con la palma de la mano. A pesar que esto nunca falla, el equipo queda funcionando nuevamente, esta reparación es de carácter temporal y adicionalmente, es obvio que no es sano recomiendan esta práctica, pero puede salvarte en caso de que estés de viaje tomando fotografías y no tengas un servicio especializado.

Hi there.

This may be easier than you think.<grin>
SD cards can become accidentally locked. Double check your card. Take a look at the side of it. There will be a little switch. Make sure the switch is in the unlocked postion and see if that's your problem. Let me know if that doesn't help.

I have a digital camera Benq dc E610, it showing error 0013 while switching on.

Hi there,
There is a way to fix it, but it involves soldering. You can solder that piece back into place. It should only take you about a minute to do the job.
Your going to need a slim soldering iron (in order to reach down in the battery compartment), a piece of solder, and maybe a third hand to hold the connector in place. It should only take a drop or two of solder to do the trick.
If your not comfortable with that, then you need to take it to a shop. Hope this helps you.

Have used a 5-cent nylon cable tie for years on our CoolPix 990 and it never has failed, and still allows for battery changes. Looks a little funny to some, but is very functional. Don't know if your camera's design is similar enough for this to work, but it may worth trying.

First deconnect all batteries, usb cable anything from the camera. Leave it for about 1 hour and then without connecting batteries press and keep the the power button pressed for about 1min. Then press twice on every other button including the shuter, zoom or stuff like that. This should reset a microcontroller that remembers the last operation done. This doesn't reset the camera. After this, connect the batteries and try to power it again. IF this doesn't work. Try to push the lens back in using your fingers. Don't force them to much if they doesn't appear to go back. Use 2 fingers to press on the lens one on each side aplying equal pressure. You may hear a click noise when the lents start to go back. Again, don't force them to much. Try these at first and then if they doesn't work, please post back and specify what does the camera do. No led's no nothing or ..?

Assume the batteries have full power and the camera did not fall, I had the same problem and turned out that some dirts got inside. So I sucked the area around the lens with a powerful vacuum cleaner and was able to make it work again.

Hi Nitin, I am facing the same problem with my Nikon 3200 Coolpix camera. Were you able to resolve your above mentioned issue, If yes, can you please let me know the solution as well. Thanks in Advance. Sumit
