Hi dear Sir, bring it for service.
Greetings

You can unprotect an image the same you you protected it. Press the MENU button, select the wrench icon, then select the key icon.

Details are in the "Protect" section of the manual (page 111 in my copy). If you need a manual, you can download one from the manufacturer's web site at

I would suggest you try using a tripod

There is no black and white mode in a Nikon Coolpix L100 camera. You can take a picture and then convert it into black an white through any photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop.

Having gone over four months without a response, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader solved the problem.

Press the MENU button, select Setup (the wrench icon), then select "Copy" (two rectangles with a right-pointing arrow). Select the top option ("IN" to card).Full details are in the "Copy" subsection of the "Basic Camera Setup" section of the manual (page 112 in my copy). If you need a manual, you may download a copy here.

You have a LCD screen backlight problem, it could be a faulty inverter or a faulty CCFL lamp.This camera needs to be sent away forrepairs. Just like a motor vehicle, some repairs to your camera require atechnical specialist to fix your problem.

Do what the pros do to avoid this very problem...use a card reader to download to a folder you create on the desktop. Once there, you can send the pics to iPhoto.

According woth your comments, sound like a lens error and it denotes that your lens barrel has some problem. If your camera is still under warranty and has definitely not been subject to misuse then contact the Nikon service department in your country to find out about a free repair.

Stuck lenses are probably the most common reason that compact digital cameras get thrown away, but there's a fair chance of recovering use of your camera again

The fault is commonly caused by dirt or grit blocking the mechanism, or due to it having suffered a recent fall. Another common cause is that the camera was in a pocket or bag and the power button accidentally activated and tried to open the lens against resistance. The mechanism may have simply become dislodged or there may be parts which have broken.

Now there isn't much to do here. I am listing a few techniques that might help, but do it at your own risk as it can help in some cases or make it worse in others.

1. Another way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the camera is enough to get things going again.
2. Try hitting your camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of your hand.

Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair center for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to replace the camera.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.

Having gone over a month without a reply to my query, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader solved the problem.
