What does it mean when the monitor turns off and the power-on lamp blinks rapidly on my Nikon CoolPix S6000?

  Stephanie CamachoSep 1, 2025
  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.

Why can't I play back a file on my Nikon CoolPix S6000?

  Mr. Leonard RodriguezSep 14, 2025
  If a file cannot be played back on your Nikon Digital Camera, it could be because the file or folder was overwritten or renamed by a computer or another camera. Also, the COOLPIX S6000 is not able to playback movies recorded with another make or model of digital camera.

  Saving images on your Nikon Digital Camera might take more time in certain situations: when the noise reduction function is in operation, when the flash mode is set to V (auto with red-eye reduction), or when the skin softening function is applied while shooting.

Why are the recorded pictures not displayed in auto sort mode on my Nikon Digital Camera?
- A
  Amy ThomasSep 18, 2025
  If the recorded pictures are not displayed in auto sort mode on your Nikon Digital Camera, it could be because the desired picture was sorted to a category other than the one currently displayed. Pictures recorded by a camera other than the COOLPIX S6000 and pictures copied using the Copy option cannot be displayed in auto sort mode. Pictures recorded in the internal memory or on the memory card may not be played back correctly if overwritten by a computer. Also, up to 999 pictures and movies in total can be added to each category; if a category already contains 999 items, new ones cannot be added.

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

  raymond25Aug 26, 2025
  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.

Why is my Nikon Digital Camera battery not charging when connected to a computer?
- J
  Jeremy SmithAug 26, 2025
  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.
