Hi! Which would be better overall to use? Also, does either mode affect settings when taking a video?

Hi! Why is that that when using excessively zooming function during Full-Time Focus mode, the video then becomes out-of-focus and cannot go back into focus even if you hold the camera steady? Is there a technique to this?

Coolpix S6100

Hi! So when I try to take photos at zoom (or even when not zoom) during dim-light or low-light conditions, I often get blurry image, EVEN if motion detection and VR reduction is ON.

I think this has to do mostly with shutter speed. I read in the specs that max shutter speed is 1/2000. However, best I got when I focus the shutter is around 1/60! That is a lot difference from the max. So I would like to ask, is this really supposed to be the case or is it malfunction in my camera?

Is it working during Scene-Auto Selector Mode? Also, what are the differences between the default Auto-Mode with the Scene-Auto Selector Mode? Is there a situation in which I will choose one or the other?

I have read the manual and it is pretty vague regarding this topics, so I would like clarification. Thank you very much! Love your product!

I received the Nikon Coolpix S6100 for Christmas. I pulled it out and shot a few photos (without a card in it) just to see the picture quality. I determined I liked it, put it back in the box and finally pulled it out this last weekend to start using it. It wouldn't turn on. I plugged in the charger--no light. I plugged it into the computer--no light. I replaced the battery and it works! I'm hoping this is a fluke??? Having to replace a $40 battery after such short use/lack of use is too pricey!

I bought the Coolpix S6100 camera for my son to take to Afghanistan. We charged it and put in a Sony 8GB memory card and the camera worked easily and beautifully. He packed it well, and when he got to his destination it simply would not turn on. He tried charging it again, but it will not turn on. We bought an extended warranty but that's not helpful until he returns;-( Cany anyone suggest anything he can try?

I haven't had any sucess trying to, is there a feature which I can switch the camera from sending to recieving video?

I know they are for:
Back Light , Beach, Black and White Copy, Close Up. Draw. Dusk/Dawn, Fireworks Show, Food, Landscape, Museum, Night Landscape, Night Portrait, Panorama Assist, Party/Indoor, Pet Portrait, Portrait, Scene Auto Selector, Snow, Sports, Sunset
But what Icon relates to what scene setting?
I have tried to download the manual many times and it always times out!!

Occasionally, when taking photos, the camera freezes and the only way to reset it is to pull the battery.
