Nikon Coolpix L100 Battery Exhausted Problem

Hi,
I have recently bought a new Nikon Coolpix L100 Camera just 6 days back from a Best Buy Store. I am running with Battery Exhausted issue for each turn on. Even I tried to change the new battery , the problem doesn't change any behaviour and the outcome is remain same. I am really helpless to find out the cause of this problem whether this is a problem with the Camera or with Battery. As I have purchased this recently , I would like to replace this.
Please help me out on this.
Thanks in Advance,
Anil

Hi anilkhamari,
If you've tried using brand new AA batteries, and you continue to have issues with your new camera having no power, Nokia is most likely correct that your camera is defective.
With that being said there are certain measures you can take to conserve battery power, and enhance how long your camera has power. First thing you could try is using Lithium AA batteries. This type of battery will have a much longer charge than the average alkaline battery. The LCD is the part of the battery that uses the most power by far, and there are usually settings on a camera that can save power by adjusting the brightness level of its LCD. I would also suggest you make sure the power button is always turned off while the camera isn't being used, and that it isn't inadvertently being turned on while in your camera bag.
If you do feel like your camera is defective you should be able to return or exchange the purchase as long as it was purchased in the last 14 days, and the purchase is older than 14 days you should be able to get it repaired by the cameras manufacturer's warranty. I would suggest bringing it to your local Best Buy® store, and they should be able to take care of you.
I hope this helps!

  • Nikon CoolPix L100 et al "battery exhausted" message

    Searched and was reading post reguarding "battery exhausted" issue with these and other cameras. I just was handed down a CoolPix L100 with this issue. This procedure worked for me. (1)Install new batteries. (2)Power Camera On. (3)While camera is powered on, open the battery door to disconnect the batteries. (4)Reclose door and power up the camera. Like I said, worked for me. I also updated the firmware, which can be found on Nikon's Website <http://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16481/sort/4,2/r_id/116678>

    Hi cfb61,
    I was glad to hear you found a way to resolve the issue you were having with Nikon L100 you just received, and would thank you for sharing your results with the community!
    Thanks for posting,

  • As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto. Never before had a problem. (it is the version prior to iPhoto 11--all Apple software is UTD)

    As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto '08. Never before had a problem.  I sent a request to Nikon for help and they referred me back to Apple.  Help, if possible, please.

    As the photos imported to the test library you know that it works with your version of iPhoto (so, you can skip the paranoia about Apple making you upgrade). The issue then is the Library, so
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Problems with Nikon Coolpix P7700 and Lightroom 4.4 with camera raw 7.4.

    When I import raw (NRW) files (size 3000 x 4000 pixels) from my Nikon Coolpix P7700 to Lightroom 4.4 (camera raw 7.4) it seems that Lightroom doubles file sizes. In Metadata section I can see that picture´s file size is 25.xx Mb. Camera´s sensor size is, however, only 12 Mb. I have also Nikon D300 and imported raw files (size 3000 x 4000 pixels) in Lightroom 4.4. are varying between 12.xx and 16.xx Mb. I´m very confused about the situation. I have iMac 27" (late 2007) and operating system is Mac OSX 10.8.4. Can somebody explain what is happening. Is there a bug in Lightroom 4.4 and Camera Raw 7.4 or what?
    Thank you in advance

    You are mixing megapixels (your camera takes 12 megapixel photos) with megabytes (the file size). These two different units cannot be compared, and I conclude from the numbers you have provided that nothing is wrong.

  • HT4101 I have a NIKON COOLPIX P500 but am unable to download photos through the IPad camera connection kit. I have tried to use the Sandisk card also - no result. Any suggestions? The Ipad does not "see" the card or camera?

    I have a Nikon Coolpix P500 but am unable to download photos from it to my iPad2 via the iPad Camera Connection kit. The iPad does not see either the Sandisk 8GB card or the Nikon camera. I have turned the camera on, but it seems that the camera just want to recharge its battery through the iPad as the iPad states that the devices draws too much power?? Anybodu solved this problem yet? Advise please?

    One thing to check is the format that the camera is saving pics to the card in. Many are selectable and, in most cases, if PTP is one of the options then you need to have that one selected for the files to be visible to iOS and the CCK (connection kit).
    Another thing which sometimes comes up, especially with older cameras and therefore probably not with yours, is the filenaming conventions used by the camera. iOS is quite strict about what it expects to see and if files are being stored with unsupported name formats then they simply won't be seen at all.

  • Nikon Coolpix 990 not supported in iPhoto 11 v9.4.2 on OS x 10.8.2

    I am running Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard in separate partitions on the same iMac(Intel i3).  I can import photos from my Nikon Coolpix 990 camera using iPhoto 11 v 9.2.3 running on Snow Leopard.  I cannot import photos when running iPhoto 11 v 0.4.2 on Mountain Lion.  The camera shows up in the USB section of the system report.  Is anyone aware of this problem and how to fix it?

    I removed my photos and formatted the camera's flash card but it didn't help.  I spent an hour on the phone with Apple and they couldn't resolve the issue either.  The support person is forwarding the problem to Apple engineering.
    Thank you for your suggestions.

    When I connect my Nikon coolpix S9200 to the camera adaptor I get a message saying this device uses too much power, how can I overcome this?

    You are probably seeing this message because the camera uses the same port to charge it. The iPad can not supply the power to charge devices from it's dock connector. Also if you use the SD card adapter you are not using up the camera's battery for transferring the photos.

  • Nikon Coolpix S570

    Got some help from the Geniuses at the store today. It appears that the software on Nikon Coolpix S570 cameras is not compatible with iphoto. When uploading, there is an error message saying that the files are unreadable. However, when using a universal media reader, there is no problem uploading them. The upload from the camera onto a PC works fine, but it doesn't appear to be compatible with the Mac.

    If you're certain that your camera was shipped without any Mac software at all, I'm astonished. A Mac version of PictureProject is listed among the things included in the package on Nikon's web site for the 5900. The current version can also be downloaded here.
    Apart from installing PictureProject, which may or may not function as a driver, all I can suggest is that you buy a USB card reader and transfer your pictures through that — if you can. If the card can't be mounted or read that way (with the camera entirely out of the picture), the card itself is corrupt, and you may want to try using PhotoRescue or MediaRecover to salvage the pictures off it. Then reformat the card in your camera — not through the Mac. It's safest never to format or erase a card or, in fact, to edit its contents in any way while it's connected to a Mac. Tinkering with their contents on a Mac is probably the most common way cards are corrupted.
    After reformatting the card, test again to see whether connecting the camera to the Mac works as it used to.

  • Uploading from Nikon Coolpix S01

    Can you transfer photos from a Nikon Coolpix S01to iPad 2? My daughter got one as a present and gets the dreaded "device uses too much power" message. We've tried advice in old forums to switch off on 'computer charge' on camera but still no luck.  Any suggestions please.

    This is the same problem I am having.  I contacted Apple support with no help.  I contacted Nikon, as well, to see if the iPad photo kit would support this Nikon s01, and they had no clue.  This is very frustrating.  The connection kit and camera would download on my iMac using iPhoto, so I suspect there is a problem with the iPad connection.  I fully charged camera and the same error cones up.  Can anyone get this to work?

  • New Nikon Coolpix P1 -- cranky importing

    My daughter just got a Nikon Coolpix P1 camera.
    When we plug in the camera and start importing as usual the thing seems cranky. It gave me an error message:
    "the following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or files may not contain valid data)" followed by a list of all the photos.
    I turned off, unplugged, replugged, turned on, shut down other programs, bla bla bla and after a few tries it finally did work.
    Now I wonder if there are things I should do, setting to set, etc. that will avoid these problems in the future.
    My other camera -- a fuji -- I just plug it in and download. Why would this be cranky?
    The camera is wifi equiped but I did this download hardwired through USB. Also it comes with a photo management program but I did not install hoping to just stick to iPhoto.
    Any thoughts?
    Many thanks

    Add me to the list of annoyed and surprised Nikon customers. I brought my S6 to Pakistan for my birthday and visits to several cities, including one-time opportunities to take pictures inside the Prime Minister and President House buildings.
    On importing the pics into iPhoto I found FIFTY files failing to import with the "unrecognized file type" etc. error even though EACH picture is visible fine in the camera.
    Macs and Mac OS X are NOT at fault here, IMHO, because when I connected my card reader to Windows XP, none of these 50 files open there either. The camera shows them just fine.
    Very strange and dangerous Nikon bug it seems.
    Hope someone can point us to a utility to "repair" such JPEG/JPG files.

  • Nikon Coolpix vs. iPhoto: Photos Black Out After Editing

    Photos imported from Nikon Coolpix retain image but show 0 MB once they are edited in iPhoto. This happens more often than not, and there appears to be no consistency as to why and when it happens. This does not happen with other cameras I use, and appears to be independent of the memory card used.
    I'm less concerned as to *why* it happens and more concerned to find a solution to the problem.

    Original Images are all in color. When Working in the editor, they appear to be ok. Then, when I escape back to the event, the image appears but the size immediately goes from the original to zero. When I go back to the editor, the image becomes all black and only reappears intact when I choose "revert to original". Bottom line appears to be that I will have to upgrade my system. Oh well.

  • Using iPhoto with Nikon Coolpix 5900

    Hi does anyone know why my camera Ive just purchased, a Nikon Coolpix 5900 is not compatible with iPhoto? Ive looked at the list on the Apple iPhoto website and its not on there.
    Ive been supplied with a Nikon application called PictureViewer but Id much rather be using iPhoto. Is there anyway I can get my iPhoto to recognize my camera?
    Many thanks
    Matt

    Hi Matt
    It might be a stupid question, then, sorry for have asked it: Have you already tried if it works or just read about it?
    If you have tried: Did the camera icon appear in the finder window? it should be there like an external drive or CD/DVD.
    I have the same camera and haven't had any problems. just connected it and it works properly.
    Usually, i start iPhoto firstly. Then, i connect my camera. After having connected you have to start your camera. after several seconds, iPhoto should recognize your camera.
    actually, it works also when the camera is connected firstly and then started. in this case, iPhoto starts up on its own (or can be started manually).
    Important point is that you start up your camera after having connected. the screen of the camera will be black but the telephoto will open. that's normal.

  • Suddenly my Nikon Coolpix will not upload onto my 09 iphoto it takes for ever then it just shows blank squares no pics and a message that states it cannot read the JPEG files. Can anyone help me, please.

    Suddenly my Nikon Coolpix will not upload on to my 09 iphoto it takes for ever then it just shows blank squares no pics and a message that states it cannot read the JPEG files. Can anyone help me, please. I have never had this problem before.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    You could also try reformat the Card with your camera

  • What happened to Nikon Coolpix 7900 support?
