How to enable editing options on Nikon Coolpix P50?
- C
  Cody ThomasSep 23, 2025
  If you cannot use D-Lighting, electronic VR, crop, small picture, or black border options on your Nikon Digital Camera, it is because these options cannot be used with movies. The D-Lighting, crop, and small picture options also cannot be used with pictures shot when [I 3264×2176] or [G 3200×1800] is applied in the image size setting, so select a different image size setting. Ensure you select a compatible picture. Also, pictures shot with other cameras cannot be edited, so only edit pictures shot with this camera. Other cameras may be unable to play back, or transfer to a computer, pictures edited with this camera, so use a compatible camera for playback.

Why doesn't the flash fire on my Nikon Coolpix P50 Digital Camera?
- C
  Cynthia CunninghamAug 27, 2025
  If the flash on your Nikon Digital Camera is not firing, first ensure that the flash is turned on. If it is already on, check if you have selected a scene mode that does not allow the flash to be used. If so, select a different scene mode. Also, if B of focus mode is applied, change the focus mode. If a D mode other than [Time-lapse movieP] is selected, select a different D mode. Finally, if [Continuous], [BSS], or [Multi-shot 16] is selected for [Continuous], change the continuous option.
