Nikon Coolpix L4 Troubleshooting

If you are into taking pictures anytime, anywhere, then you may own a Nikon Coolpix L4. This nifty camera has the look and feel of a more expensive model, even though it is nowhere near the top of the line of Nikon digital cameras. Despite the great features this little wonder possesses---and at such a great value---it can have its problems.


Compatible Memory Cards


One of the most common mistakes when purchasing a digital camera is buying an incompatible memory card. This can cause quirks in the operation of your Nikon Coolpix L4 as well. You may experience the memory card (or camera) does not work with the memory inserted, while removing the memory allows for normal operation. You may also see that when you insert the memory card after the camera is on, the camera works. To avoid these issues, remember to check the compatibility of your memory card by referencing the Coolpix manual.


The Nikon Coolpix L4 Goes Through Batteries Quickly


Perhaps you take more pictures than your average person and your camera battery simply cannot keep up. You can always tweak your camera settings so that less power is used. For example, while shooting in the daytime, make sure your flash is turned off. There are also better battery alternatives out there. Try a NiMH rechargeable battery with a top of the line charger, and you are sure to get longer life out of your Nikon Coolpix L4.


Camera View is Blurry Even After Cleaning the Lens


If you are getting a blurry view or blurry images, there could be a number of problems. It could be the lens has crystalline deposits built up---an effect that occurs when cameras are stored in cold places and brought into the warm air, causing condensation. It could also be that the focus receptor is broken or even that your settings are not optimal for the type of environment you are shooting in.


LCD Screen Is Cracked


If your LCD screen is cracked, but the camera still seems to be operational, you may as well go the cheap route and have the LCD replaced before purchasing another camera. You can find cheap Nikon Coolpix LCD replacement screens on eBay or from the below link. When it comes to big repairs for your Nikon Coolpix L4, you can take it to a camera shop to get an estimate on the repair. If the price is more than $50, you may decide to replace your Nikon Coolpix L4 with a newer model.
