hi, the sound unit in the camera is in a constant level, it is not variable, so if the sound is very low, may be the speaker is weak.

hi, the popup mechanism has a motors and gears switches etc in, this must be in a synchronous position if this mechanism is misplaced, it should re set in proper way, open the cam fix it.

hi, when the still camera works the shutter of the aperture and iris is opening for a limited time, if it opens without limit the excess light will enter in and the result will be blurry picture, if the shutter is not opening the picture will be dark. in movie mode the shutter will be always in opened state, so I think there may be fault in shutter. in some cases a slight jerk giving to cam when you depressing the snap button will reset the shutter and will work normally.

hi, check the LCD connector whether it is fixed properly, do not insert fully inside the connecting jig, a little gap must get, still problem persist,please test the back light of the LCD with a multi tester,if the needed voltage is not present, check the motherboard,

hi, your camera's zoom is faulty, there is some sensors with which controls the lens retraction, if the lens's position is wrong the sensor cutting edge will not get in the proper position. open the camera, take out the lens, open it carefully, if the position of the lens is not in proper position, you can see some marks on the lens barrel fix it in the correct position.

hi, I think your question is about the camera picture,if so the fault is in the iris or aperture unit inside the lens, in some cases the flexible cable in this unit become break, difficult to get separately, but the total lens unit is available, change with a new one.

It could be the batteries. It could be the battery charging circuit in your camera. Try charging the batteries in an external charger that you know for a fact is working properly. That will tell you if it is the camera's charging circuit or the batteries. If it is the camera's charging circuit, it will cost less to use an external charger then to repair the camera.

Since you did not say which model number you are inquiring about, I can only give you general information. On Nikon Coolpix cameras there is a button (usually small) that you push in and hold for 2 or 3 seconds to turn the camera on or off.

You didn't give the model number of your Coolpix, so I can only give you general instructions. Explore your camera's menu. Somewhere, you will find an item that will allow you to turn the date stamp on or off and set the current date and possibly the time.

On the back of your camera you will find a button with a garbage can symbol. That is the delete button.

Generally the COOLPIX line of cameras does not have a lens that can be removed or changed. Does this answer your question? Some of these cameras have a lens cover that is like an external shutter. To use these cameras you must expose the lens, usually by moving a small sliding piece that is next to the lens, either up or sideways.

Those cameras have 2 batteries, one you cannot service, have to send it in. www.unitedcamera.com
