How to reduce noise in images from my Nikon COOLPIX P340 Digital Camera?
If you see random bright pixels ('noise') in your Nikon Digital Camera images, it might be because the subject is dark, and the shutter speed is too slow, or the ISO sensitivity is too high. To reduce noise, try using the flash or setting a lower ISO sensitivity.
Why my Nikon COOLPIX P340 Digital Camera cannot focus?
If your Nikon Digital Camera is unable to focus, the subject might be too close. Try using the Scene auto selector, Close-up scene mode, or the macro close-up focus mode. Also, check the focus mode setting. If the subject is hard to focus on, set AF assist to Auto in the setup menu. Ensure the subject is within the focus area when pressing the shutter-release button halfway, and that the focus mode isn't set to manual focus. As a last resort, try turning the camera off and then on again.
Why won't the battery charge in my Nikon COOLPIX P340 Digital Camera?
If the battery in your Nikon Digital Camera isn't charging, first, confirm all connections. When connected to a computer, charging may be disabled if 'Charge by computer' is set to Off in the setup menu, if the camera is turned off, or if the camera’s display language and date/time haven't been set or were reset. Use the charging AC adapter to charge the battery in these cases. Charging may also stop if the computer is in sleep mode or may not be possible depending on the computer's specifications.
Why won't my Nikon COOLPIX P340 Digital Camera turn on?
If your Nikon Digital Camera won't turn on, the battery is likely exhausted. Note that when the charging AC adapter is connected, the camera cannot be turned on using the power switch. You can enter playback mode by pressing and holding the playback button, but shooting isn't possible in this state.
Why can't I use digital zoom on my Nikon Digital Camera?
If you can't use digital zoom on your Nikon Digital Camera, a function restricting it might be enabled, or digital zoom is set to Off in the setup menu. Also, digital zoom is unavailable in certain scene modes like Scene auto selector, Portrait, Night portrait, Easy panorama, and Pet portrait.
Why is the image size option not available on my Nikon Digital Camera?
If the image size option is unavailable on your Nikon Digital Camera, a function that restricts it might be enabled. Also, the image size is fixed when the scene mode is set to Easy panorama.
Why does flash not fire on Nikon Digital Camera?
The flash on your Nikon Digital Camera may not fire because you've selected a shooting mode that disables the flash, or a function that restricts the flash is enabled.
Why Nikon COOLPIX P340 monitor is blank?
The Nikon Digital Camera might be off, the battery may be exhausted, or the camera could be in standby mode to save power. Try pressing the power switch, shutter-release button, c button, b (e movie-record) button, or rotate the mode dial. Also, the flash lamp may be flashing while charging, or the camera may be connected to a computer via USB, a TV via HDMI, interval timer shooting may be in progress, or Wi-Fi may be connected.
How to fix images that are too bright (overexposed) on my Nikon COOLPIX P340?
If your Nikon Digital Camera images are too bright, adjust the exposure compensation. Alternatively, use the Built-in ND filter setting found in the shooting menu.
Why Nikon COOLPIX P340 Digital Camera battery cannot be charged when inserted in the camera?
