My problem began when i threw my camera that was on the picture taking mode (lens fully extended out) on my bed as i got my computer to upload photos and very embarrassingly and carelessly I sat onto my camera, forcing the lens to be pushed back into the camera without pressing a button that would allow the lens to close on its own. I fear that i did great damage to my camera because when i press the power button on the top now, it does not turn on but there is a little noise that sounds like the lens is trying to open and allow the camera to turn on but it fails to do so. What can I do or wear can i go to get this fixed?

Occasionally a picture will come out like it is split down the middle with one side much darker and slightly shifted from the other side. The line between the two halves is very distinct. What makes it even more strange is when viewing on the camera screen, or as a thumb nail on my computer, the picture looks fine. It only shows the split screen when you click on the thumb nail or print the picture out. I will include an example below.

me and her were laying on my bed taking pictures together and it just shut off and we put new batteries in but it still wont turn on and she payed 200 dollars for it so she wants it to be fixed but we cannot figure out how to fix it, any help would be greatly apreciated

We just opened up my son's camera that he received for Christmas. We put in a brand new SanDisk SD card and we keep geting a message that the card is write protected. The lock position on the card is NOT engaged so that is not the problem. We removed the card and placed it back in several times. Sometimes it would work, sometimes not. When we had it working, we turned off the camera. A few minutes later we turned it back on the got the write protected message again. What is the problem???

The zoom was working and then all of a sudden it stopped working. Is there an explanation?

I use a MacBook Pro, & although I have found my video imported to Iphoto, my preference is to import the L22's video into IMovie. What do I need to do?

I asked this in another place on accident. So, my battery didn't say "battery exhausted" yet but I changed the batteries just in case. But now it won't turn on or anything. I've put them in the slots they are suppose in so that's not the solution. So, what do I need to do? Do I just ask for a new one?

What is the longest and shortest shutter speeds. Should be in Tech specs.

my plastic battery door latch broke. got the coolpix l22 for thanksgiving. is it worth repairing or just getting a differant camera?

My zoom won't adjust manually, but will sometimes adjust itself. How do I change this to manual adjustment only?

I connect to the PC. I can see all the photos as thumbnails on the camera memory card - when I try to drag and drop into a folder on my PC teh copy freezes, sometimes the images move over are blank icons, and warn of duplicates are misnamed.
What is going on?

I received my L22 as a gift in December and within the first week the battery door latch broke. I dealt with it and was careful when I used the camera.
Now the camera will not power up. This problem began a couple weeks ago when I would turn on the camera, I would get a "Batteries Exhausted" message. I would either turn of the camera and turn it on again or install new batteries and turn it on and it would work. In all cases the batteries were good. Now the camera will not turn on at all, even with fresh batteries.

My L22 works like a dream except in direct sunlight. The lens will pop out like it's ready to take a pic, but the screen stays dark like it's off.

I recently misplaced my camera (well I think it was stolen) and I was wondering if the camera has a tracking device on it so that I can locate it somehow. Thank you.

*I recently asked this question and a response was sent to my e-mail, but th elink will not work. It redirects me back to my e-mail inboc."

I lost my camera and I was wondering if the Nikon Coolpix L22 had a tracking device so that I can find it.

I took a picture without the memory card and when I insert the memory card, I can' t see that picture, so I want to transfer it to my memory card. How do I do this?

I have tried to hook up the camera with the egcp14 av cable in the video on my TV and no luck. What else do I need to make it show pictures on my TV.

Flash Lamp blinks continuously when the camera comes on. Then when I try to take a picture with the flash, it blinks again like it is charging. But when it stops blinking and I touch the shutter release the red flash continues to blink and doesn't take the picture. I am unable to take pictures with the flash now at any setting. I can only take pictures without the flash.

Hello, please help me soon as possible.
Today I bought the Nikon L22. I looked over the User's Guide Manual and I found 2 problems at my camera:
1) When I enter into Menu -> Settings I have a list. After Batery type I have Protect then Rotate image then 2 others Copy and Firmware version(1.0). When I want to run the menu down, after Batery type, the coursor jumps over Protect and Rotate image, and send me direct to Copy option. Why? Why I don't have available options Protect and Rotate image? Is something wrong with my camera?
2) In User's Guide Manual I saw that if I click on the Flash mode(Blitz) button on my camera, on the screen I should have 5 options (see page 30). On my camera it appears only the options Off and Auto. Why I don't have the others options?

I want to know if I should give my camera back or keep it, just for those 2 problems so far (day 1).

Thank you very much,
Andreea.
