Your Nikon Digital Camera may become hot when used for extended periods, such as shooting movies, or when used in a hot environment. This is normal and not a malfunction.
How to improve monitor visibility on Nikon Coolpix B500 Digital Camera?
If the monitor of your Nikon Digital Camera is hard to see, try moving to a darker location if the surroundings are too bright. You can also adjust the screen brightness.
Why does O flash on the screen of my Nikon Digital Camera?
If 'O' flashes on your Nikon Digital Camera's screen, it may be because the camera clock hasn't been set. Images and movies saved before setting the clock may be dated incorrectly. Set the correct time and date in the setup menu under Time zone and date. Note that the camera clock's accuracy is not as high as ordinary watches, so periodic resetting may be needed.
Why is there no information displayed on the screen of my Nikon Coolpix B500 Digital Camera?
If no information is displayed on your Nikon Digital Camera's screen, it's possible that shooting and photo information are hidden. Try pressing the s button until the information appears.
Why is the date not stamped on images from my Nikon Coolpix B500 Digital Camera?
The date may not be stamped on your Nikon Digital Camera images because the current shooting mode might not support the Date stamp feature. Also, note that the date cannot be stamped on movies.
Why does the time zone and date screen appear when I turn on my Nikon Digital Camera?
If the time zone and date screen appears every time you turn on your Nikon Digital Camera, it likely means the clock battery is exhausted, and all settings have been reset to their default values. You'll need to configure the camera settings again. The internal clock battery charges when you insert the batteries or connect the AC adapter, taking about 10 hours to fully charge. It can then operate for several days even without the main batteries.
