Why are my Nikon CoolPix S6000 Digital Camera pictures too dark?
- S
  Stephanie HamiltonSep 10, 2025
  If your Nikon Digital Camera pictures are too dark (underexposed), it could be due to several reasons. Check if the flash mode is set to W (off), or if the flash window is blocked. The subject may also be beyond the flash range. You can also try adjusting the exposure compensation, increasing the ISO sensitivity, or, if the subject is backlit, select Backlight scene mode or set the flash mode setting to X (fill flash).

  If the flash on your Nikon Digital Camera does not fire, it could be due to several reasons. Check if the flash mode is set to W (off), or if you've selected a scene mode that disables the flash. Also, ensure that On is not selected for Blink proof in the smart portrait menu, and that no other function restricting the flash is enabled.

  If your Nikon Digital Camera is not charging the battery when connected to a computer, it's because the battery does not charge when the camera is turned off. Also, charging stops if the computer enters sleep mode while the battery is charging. Depending on computer specifications, settings, and status, it may be impossible to charge the battery inserted into the camera via computer connection.

  If the monitor of your Nikon Digital Camera is blank, ensure that the camera is powered on and the battery is not exhausted. If the camera is in standby mode, press the power switch, the shutter-release button, A button, c button, or b (movie-record) button. If the flash lamp is blinking, wait until it has charged. Also, check if the camera is connected to a computer via USB or to a TV via A/V or HDMI cable. Note that when connected to an electrical outlet using a Charging AC Adapter, the camera cannot be turned on.

How to set date and time on Nikon CoolPix S6000 Digital Camera?

  kellymarcusAug 27, 2025
  If the date and time of recording are not correct on your Nikon Digital Camera, it's likely that the camera clock hasn't been set. A “Date not set” indicator blinks during shooting and movie recording if this is the case. Pictures and movies recorded before setting the clock will be dated “00/00/0000 00:00” or “01/01/2010 00:00”. To fix this, set the correct time and date from the Date option in the setup menu. Also, regularly check the camera clock against more accurate timepieces and reset it as needed.

  If your Nikon Digital Camera monitor turns off and the power-on lamp blinks rapidly, it indicates that the battery temperature is high. Turn off the camera and allow the battery to cool down before resuming use. The camera will turn off automatically after the lamp blinks for three minutes. You can also turn off the camera by pressing the power switch.
