If you can get to the menus, reset all to factory settings as much as you can. Then test it to see how it reacts.

You need to clean the battery compatrment contacts. This is best accomplished with a cotton swab "dampened" not soaked with rubbing alcohol. Wipe the contacts as best you can and then make sure they are completely dry by blowing on them. Do the same to your battery and charger if so equipt. THank you, Dana

Yes...batteries left to completely discharge sometimes never recover.

You didn't provide much info to work with, but it sounds like you're experiencing software problems. Try installing your software again, without further attempts to remove/uninstall what's already there. Hopefully the new install will overwrite and correct the problems.

Hi,

Do not forget to accept the solution, if 100% satisfied with my solution!!

When using a Coolpix camera on a microscope use these settings:

• Set focus to Infinity
• Set exposure to Aperture Priority
• Zoom in to fill the microscope image on the camera's LCD

Failure to follow these settings may result in vignetting (dark edges).When using the 4300 or 5000 a lens adapter step-down ring is needed. (UR-E4 for the Coolpix 4300 or UR-E6 for the Coolpix 5000)

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Check Nikon's website for firmware updates.

Go to the support section of the Nikon website and e-mail one of their tech people with your problem...I'm sure they can solve it.

Have you tried RESET ALL to return to default settings?

What does the battery icon show? If it shows an almost depleted battery the camera will only let you take one picture, then disable it from taking any more.
It's possible the battery won't hold a charge, so you should consider testing the camera further using an external charger or getting a new battery.

The Nikon Coolpix 4300 only supports the FAT16 filesystem, so it can only support a 2GB partition. To support 4GB you need a FAT32 filesystem.
Put the card in a CF writer and attached to a PC or Mac. Partition 2x2GB partitions, then format them as FAT16. Now put it into the Coolpix 4300 and it should work.

For you model

If you're using a rechargeable battery, either it needs charged or is too old to take a full charge. It probably needs replaced.

Double check the batteries and make sure they are inserted correctly.

If the battery is rechargable, recharge the battery and try again.

stick a volt meter on the battery after charging if its really low or zero battery needs fo be replaced

In record mode, push the Flash Button (third button below the LCD screen). This will allow you to switch off the flash.
