Nikon Recent Questions, Troubleshooting Help & Support

Is it this type of card? The B500 is compatible with SDHC and SDXC cards. That means you can use cards from 4GB all the way to the largest cards currently available. (at that time 128GB) And is it less than 128GB? Your Nikon Coolpix B500 Digital Camera is compatible with 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards. https://www.google.com/search?q=nikon+coolpix+b500+compatible+memory+card ..

The first link suggests No it doesn't https://www.google.com/search?q=Does+the+nikon+440+range+finder+compensate+for+angles ..

I ran into this exact issue (64GB Sandisk SD not working with an old Nikon D40). The problem is that the camera requires FAT32 formatting, which is not supported on partitions greater than 32GB (i.e the 64GB stick). A format from the camera attempts to repartition all device space (64GB) which is incompatible. I solved this by connecting the SD to my laptop, opening the windows disk management utility (diskmgmt.MSC), deleting all partitions on the SD (right-click, delete partition on all allocated space), the right clicking the unallocated space, add simple partition, then allocating only 32GB and using FAT32 as the format (any more and windows will only provide exFAT as an option, also not compatible with Nikon D40). Plugging that into the camera and NOT reformatting from there worked.

Hi, Please make sure that the camera has an SD card inserted into it. If it does, then you might have to switch out the current card for a new one. Thank you.

Hello again There is one repair place that lists 700 different battery doors, but your is listed and out of stock. AliExpress also lists doors and sometimes they end up on eBay. Your best bet is Nikon direct. https://www.google.com/search?q=replacement+battery+cover+door+for+a+Nikon+Coolpix+s7c ..

Inserted the correct way round? Wrong battery for the model you have? https://www.google.com/search?q=Coolpix+s7c+battery ..

Remove the lens and look inside it. Do you see the mirror? If not, your mirror is stuck in the up position. Its flat up against the focusing screen. If the mirror is down, the problem is in the lens, or you still have the lens cap in place.
Check your manual under troubleshooting.
Try setting the shutter speed dial to the M90 position.
Also be sure the batteries are inserted correctly!!!!

If no change yet, you can try to put the mirror back down yourself. With the lens removed, set the camera on its back. You can use your fingers, but I suggest a toothpick cuz they won't leave fingerprints on the mirror and the toothpick should break before you exert enough pressure to really break something. So just try to return the mirror to the 45 degree angle within the mirror box. Be careful not to damage anything in there, like the shutter or the arms that raise and lower the mirror. Depending on where you live, there may be some corrosion or rust on the mirror linkage. It should move easily. If you feel any roughness when you move the miror, that may be the reason it did not return on its own. Then turn it on, off again. At some point, you may want to have this camera cleaned, lubricated and Adjusted(CLA) - after all, its over 25 yrs old.
If all that did not work, you'll need to send it in. Here are some good choices for repair places...

the battery is original

While viewing the picture press the up arrow on the arrow pad. Scroll through it till you get to normal mode. It will scroll through the index, histogram, highlight and then normal.

There may be a fault requiring service (probably not economically viable if they won't do it under warranty), but before you go there, does this camera have a "Macro" feature? This is usually represented by an icon that looks like a flower. If you have set that on, the camera goes into an extreme close-up mode and won't focus on items at normal distances.

Check the manual for instructions on how to set it for the maximum number of megapixels and the best picture quality. If it has shake control, be sure you have it on. Set the camera to "auto" everything until you become more familiar with it.

This issue is caused by fiedd of view angle and means that the lens is not compatible with the camera. You can set the F-stop higher and sometimes reduce that effect.

You can start with the online tutorial on Nikon's web site at

You might also visit your local library or bookstore and browse through the photography section. There are plenty of books on introductory photography, introductory DSLR photography, and other topics. The manual does a great job of explaining what each of the controls do, but doesn't do so great a job of explaining why you'd want to change these things. It's like the owner's manual for a car: you wouldn't want to learn how to drive just by reading it.

And most important: go out and take pictures! You're not paying for film and processing, so take a lot of pictures and look at them on your computer. Experiment, see what the different settings do.

The clock battery is internal and cannot be removed or replaced except by a technician. It is recharged by your regular rechargeable battery, so there is no separate charging procedure. If you find that your clock and other permanent settings are being list when you remove your regular battery for charging, then it's an issue with the internal battery and should go to repair.

what camera model are you using? Is it possible that the auto focus is turned to manual?

Question edited to change model name Coolplex > Coolpix. Sounds like the x-ray machine burnt the sensor. Take to Nikon Service and ask for a report. Claim against the airport. With good cameras, it is best to ask for visual inspection. https://www.google.com/search?q=nikon+coolpix+service+center+near+me ..

You can't reset it. It is like your car's odometer. It is factory set to zero on new cameras and it cannot be reset by the user. This is to prevent unscrupulous sellers of used cameras from passing off worn out equipment as newer.

It is almost 20 years old and I expect get used infrequently causing electronic issues.
