COOLPIX S4000

The S4000 makes great pictures. I like some of the other features such as the touch screen. However, if I had read the reviews that several other buyers have had difficulty with the lens I would not have purchased the product.

Poor Performance
I would not recommend this camera. There are much better cameras out there for the same price. I used this camera 3 times and had to send it in for repair and am still waiting to receive it back. The lens would not focus. I feel you should be able to use a camera more than 3 times before you have to have it repaired. Not happy I purchased this one!

the shots
I really love to take pictures so when i got this camera i changed what i had been used to. the hd recordings and the excellent pictures it takes its really amazing. I would like to buy other nikon cameras to see how they compare! and would definitely tell my friends about it!!

touch screen
In my opinion, i would not recommend this camera. First, it does not take that good of pictures. Second, the touch screen is so fragile. I bought this camera and within a month the screen cracked. Then i sent it in to Nikon to be fixed and got a new camera. With this one, within three days, the screen cracked, again. I would not but this camera again, but there are others i would purchase from Nikon.

Whenever I take a video over a minute or so, the camera says the file did not save or no file can be recognized or something. Can anyone tell me how to fix that, because time-limited videos aren't that fun.

I tried one of the approved cards (Lexar 8Gig) and had the same problem. Worked for the first video (about 3 minutes in length) then when I went to do the next video, I received the same "can't read" message. Very frustrated with this camera for video.Jul 4, 2011 by

Answer:
You are probably using a memory card with too low of a speed classification. On the SanDisk SD Card, there is a number inside a "C". If this is not 4 or more, the write speed of the card is too slow.Answer:
Please verify that you are using an approved memory card with your camera:Answer Title: Approved SD Cards - Coolpix S4000

Answer:
If the light is too dim, the shutter speed will be very slow, and any camera motion will blur the photo. Also, make sure that you are not "punching" the shutter button. Press slowly, and gently.Answer:
make sure you have the right adjustments for exposure, like:white balance in auto mode
ISO sensitivity auto
AF area mode auto.
(all of this if you're novice) and when taking a shoot make sure you press at half the shutter to focus and when the focus area goes green press fully the shutter. Another thing will help you is:
AF assist - auto
vibration reduction - on
motion detection - auto

too small of a card, settings for pics set too high. On mine with a 4GB card I can only get 250 pics at max resoulution. Recommend 2-4 GB card for this camera, unless you want to constantly download photos.Apr 2, 2011 by

Answer:
Pictures taken are recorded as images files. The size of the files and with it the number of images that can be recorded, depends on the size and quality of the images. Before shooting, choose an image mode according to how you plan to use the picture. See page # 48 of the User’s Manual.Ex. If you have the Image Mode set to 12M you can only record 5 pictures in the internal memory. If you set it for 3M you can record 46 pictures. Internal memory is approximate 45MB.

Answer:
Make sure you are using SanDisk cards, and double check the speed class of the SD Cards you use. I was unaware that they had such a thing, but the Coolpix 400 requires a card with a speed class of 4 or higher. On the face of the card, right below the red part of the label, there is a number enclosed in a "C". This indicates the speed class.Apr 14, 2011 by

Answer:
How many photos were you trying to import? I use a mac as well, and it can take sometime for iPhoto to read all the photos on the camera. I had 800 photos on my camera, and it took almost a minute for my camera/photos to appear in iPhoto.Try closing iPhoto, then connecting your camera. iPhoto should automatically open and read the photos and then give you an option to import the photos.

Close-ups of flowers, that kind of thing, but I can't get it to focus on the object in front - it keeps focusing on the background (background comes out clear, front object is blurry/out of focus). What am I doing wrong?
