Why does my Nikon COOLPIX S9600 Digital Camera turn off without warning?
- D
  drew08Sep 1, 2025
  Your Nikon Digital Camera might be turning off without warning because: 1. The camera automatically turns off to save power (auto off function). 2. The camera or battery has become too cold and cannot operate properly. 3. The inside of the camera has become hot. Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled, and then try turning it on again. 4. The camera turns off if the USB cable connecting it to a computer or printer is disconnected. Reconnect the USB cable.

How do I correct the date and time on my Nikon COOLPIX S9600?
- M
  Megan BrownAug 29, 2025
  If the date and time of recording are not correct on your Nikon Digital Camera: 1. If the camera clock has not been set, the “Date not set” indicator flashes during shooting and movie recording. Images and movies saved before the clock is set are dated “00/00/0000 00:00” or “01/01/ 2014 00:00” respectively. Set the correct time and date from the Time zone and date option in the setup menu. 2. The camera clock is not as accurate as ordinary watches or clocks. Periodically compare the time of the camera clock with that of a more accurate timepiece and reset as required.
