My Nikon COOLPIX S3100 battery is exhausted, even though I charged it last night like I usually do every night.

I was taking a road trip back home, and my camera either died or the battery really did exhaust. So a few hours later, I arrive home and charge it overnight. I wake up, get ready to upload some pictures and boom, my battery is exhausted. What's happening? /:

IMPORTANT to install the software before pluging in the camera!!!

But my ideal solution to downloading pictures is to remove you storage media from the carmera and use a card reader...

doesn't waste batteries, much quicker, needs no software to work...

please leave feedback if helpful

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive. Or you can use Nikon Transfer or any other photo cataloging program.

Battery Temperature High - Nikon Coolpix S3100

If your battery is known GOOD. (I still think it could be the battery) Then the only last ditch effort you can do is RESET the camera. The operation is in the TOOL menu. It changes ALL your settings to factory default. If this does not help keep the battery cool then you have a severe electrical problem with the camera OR a BAD BATTERY.

I bought my Nikon Coolpix s3100 in the USA one week ago. It is my third Coolpix thought the years and I have been very happy with them. Now I am in Europe, with a plug to change from US to standard EUR....

I don't know where you got your information but, most of it is incorrect. Your camera can use two types of batteries: rechargeable EN-MH1 using the MH-70 battery charger or a non-rechargeable CRV3. The camera cannot be charged with a cord to the camera. Also, new EN-MH1 batteries will discharge quickly for the first few charges and then give good service thereafter.

I have a Nikon coolpix L18 and can only take around 10 pics wiht it, with alkaline aa batteries, before I get the message "batteries exhausted". What can I do? Is the camer defective?

Well, alkaline batteries don't last long in a power-draining camera like the Coolpix. Try some rechargeables and keep spares fully charged.

Battery Problem

These cameras have a internal battery that holds data for the camera to keep its settings. These batteries can be replaced but the camera has to be disassimboled to change it they should be able to be changed at a local camera shop pretty cheap.
