Generally the COOLPIX line of cameras does not have a lens that can be removed or changed. Does this answer your question? Some of these cameras have a lens cover that is like an external shutter. To use these cameras you must expose the lens, usually by moving a small sliding piece that is next to the lens, either up or sideways.

Those cameras have 2 batteries, one you cannot service, have to send it in. www.unitedcamera.com

If batteries leaked in the camera the connections IN the camera may be dirty. Putting in a new battery takes care of the battery connection but not the camera connections. This is why it is very important to take out batteries when you are done taking photos. When you want to shoot again you put the batteries back in and set the time and date. You MAY be able to clean the connections with a pencil eraser. If you use a pencil eraser please blow out the dust from the eraser. If you are positive the camera then I cannot help you here.

That is not enough information. In general when you take a TIMER photo... Say you select I want to take a photo after 10 seconds. When you press the shutter and LED may blink during the 10 seconds. The rate of blinking changes right before it takes a photo..

In many cases, especially when the light is low the camera WILL get confused and it will not be able to focus in low light. In most cases what you pay for is how well it will focus in dim light. This camera does get confused easily. In many cases I have moved the camera so it sees something near what I want to photograph and push half way and the move the camera back and take the photo.

In most cases you have a ring that lets you select 4 things when shooting photos. Top: Flash, Left: Clock (Timer), Right: +/- and Bottom: Flower. What you want to do is select TIMER AND the number of seconds you need. Please understand this setting is not STICKY. You have to set it EACH time you want to take a timer controlled photo. Meaning if you set it for 10 seconds and it take a photo after 10 seconds then you push the button again it will take a photo right away.

Try cleaning the battery terminals inside the camera's battery compartment. If there's corrosion, use a pointed wooden stick (like a large toothpick) to flake it off first. Then moisten a Q-tip with water -- just enough to dampen it, you don't want water dripping inside the camera -- and rub the terminals. If you think there may be some oil or grease on the terminal, do the Q-tip thing with alcohol too. If these approaches fail you'll have to take the camera to a repair shop.
