Top 10 Nikon Coolpix 3200 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

When a mass-storage class (MSC) Coolpix camera (Coolpix 775, 885, 995, 2000, 2500, 5000, 5700, D100) is connected to a Windows XP system the camera does not appear as a mounted drive if there are no free drive letters between physical drives and mapped networked drives. Remapping the first network drive and leaving a free drive letter solves this issue. For example: If the Floppy Drive is drive “A” the internal Hard Disk is “C” the CD-ROM is “D” and the mapped network drive is “E” the Coolpix camera will not mount. If the mapped network drive is moved to “H” the Coolpix will mount properly as drive “E”. To change the drive letter mapping: Find the mapped network drive in the "My Computer" Right Click the drive and choose "Disconnect" Use the "My Network Places" to find the share to be mapped (that was removed above) Right click the shared item and choose "Map Network Drive..." Choose a drive letter from the pop-up list, remember to leave at least one free letter after the last physical drive Click "Finish" the share will now be mapped to the new drive letter and the camera should mount As long as there is a free drive letter between the last physical drive and the first network drive the actual letters do not matter. For instance if there were more than one hard drive (or DVD, CD-R, etc). This issue has only been documented with Windows XP and MSC class cameras, cameras capabale of using PTP USB mode should be set to PTP to avoid this issue.

On the Nikon Coolpix 3200, I looked it up on B&H site (www.bhphotovideo.com). Under "Specifications", way down, it shows: "Web cam capable: No."

I just had this problem today myself, and looked everywhere online for a solution. I changed the batteries (to Panasonic), and it didn't help. But i tried different batteries (Energizers) and the camera started working again.

I just purchased a new battery door for $15 with shipping from nikon. They sent a simple assembly diagram and I was able to replace the door in 30 minutes. I used a dremel to cut the old door off, but you dont have to do that. I got a little impatient.

Just buy the plastic piece and u can reuse the metal parts for your old battery door.

Nikon has tested the following cards and approved their use in the Coolpix 3200:

SD memory cards:
SanDisk 16/32/64/128/256MB
Panasonic 16/32/64/128/256/512
Toshiba 16/32/64/128/256MB

Other brands and capacities of cards may work, but Nikon cannot guarantee their operation. Check with the manufacturer of the third-party card for compatibility information. Nikon recommends keeping one of the approved cards available for troubleshooting.

Multi Media cards (MMC) are not recommended and should not be used.

i had the same problem but now i have solved it.........its not a software problem..... the lens in fornt of the camera is not able to come out......just hit the camera 3-4 times on a table it will start working.......hope your problem is solved

i have a nikon 7600 when ever i turn my camera on it says battery exhausted and turns off ny its self. so i tried buying new batteries and it still did the same thing what do i do

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.
