Why is my Nikon Coolpix P900 Digital Camera battery not charging?
- D
  Debra BrockAug 23, 2025
  Your Nikon Digital Camera battery may not charge for several reasons. Make sure all connections are secure. If connected to a computer, ensure that 'Charge by computer' is not set to 'Off' in the setup menu. Note that battery charging stops if the camera is turned off, or if the camera’s display language and date and time have not been set (or were reset after the camera’s clock battery was exhausted); in these cases, use the charging AC adapter. Also, charging may stop when the computer goes into sleep mode, or may not be possible depending on the computer's specifications, settings, and status.

Why is my Nikon Digital Camera monitor or viewfinder blank?
- D
  Dawn CarterAug 30, 2025
  The monitor or viewfinder on your Nikon Digital Camera might be blank because: * The camera is off. * The battery is exhausted. * The camera's auto-off function has activated to save power. You also cannot turn on both the monitor and viewfinder at the same time. It may take a while to switch between the monitor and viewfinder. Also, the camera might be connected to a TV or computer, interval timer shooting or time-lapse movie shooting may be in progress, or the camera and smart device are connected using Wi-Fi connection and the camera is operated by remote control.

  Eric RobertsonAug 29, 2025
  If your Nikon Digital Camera is on but not responding, try the following: * Wait for any recording to finish. * If the problem continues, turn the camera off. If it still doesn't turn off, remove and reinsert the battery (or batteries). If you're using an AC adapter, disconnect and reconnect it. Keep in mind that while any data being recorded will be lost, data already recorded will remain unaffected.

Why can't my Nikon Coolpix P900 focus?
- A
  April HowellAug 25, 2025
  Your Nikon Digital Camera might not be able to focus because: * The subject is too close. * The focus mode setting is incorrect. * The subject is hard to focus on. * The subject is not in the focus area when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. * The focus mode is set to E (manual focus). Try shooting using the Scene auto selector or Close-up scene mode, or the macro close-up focus mode. Check or change the focus setting. Set AF assist in the setup menu to Auto. You can also try turning the camera off and then on again.
