SOURCE: black monitor Nikon Coolpix S4 Digital

Give the lense side of the camara a few moderate slaps while moving camara from bright to dark obgects back and forth. the shutter gets stuck and doesn't respond to changing light. that's why outdoor pictures are usually too bright and indoor pictures are black.
good luck.

The red light is probably the focusing beam. I'd guess that your flash is turned off somewhere in your settings. Go through the menu and if you find that it is not turned on there might be a hardware problem. Also, if the flash is set to automatic, it will not work when it thinks there is enough light to take a good pic.

SOURCE: Flashing symbol

This symbol means that the backup battery needs to be changed. The backup battery is a button-type battery, CR1616. It is located under the main battery behind a small square panel. Instructions for changing it are in the manual -- look under "backup battery" in the index.

SOURCE: red hand blinks on screen upper right side. how do

The red hand icon flashing shows that the camera is using a slow shutter speed, and is a warning to be careful to hold the camera steady.

You could put the flash in auto mode and it will fire when the light is low.

How to check nikon coolpix s800 battery level

In the upper right corner of the LCD there is a small battery level indicator. When the battery is fully charged, it is all black. As the charge goes down, one side will be white and the other side black to indicate the remaining charge. If you look at item 6 on page 6 of the manual, it shows you. This link will take you to your camera's manual: http://cdn-10.nikon-cdn.com/pdf/manuals/coolpix/S800cRM_EN.pdf

Red hand

I got on to the Nikon website about this problem and I was advised that it was caused by the flash being switched off. I hadn't realised that the flash could be turned on or off - though itt was automatic. Anyway I restored all settings to default and the flashing red had disappeared.
