20 Most Recent Nikon COOLPIX S9 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer. 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). 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, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

You can copy pictures from the internal memory to a memory card by selecting "Copy" from the Playback menu.

Press the MENU button to bring up the main menu, then select the right-pointing triangle to get into the Playback menu.

The flashing red light is warning you that the shutter speed will be too long for handholding the camera. Put the camera on a tripod or other stable surface, and/or use the flash.

If you really want to transfer your pictures from your camera to your computer, with a cable, then reinstall the Cd provided with the camera, that should fix the problem.

But in any case the best way to transfer what's on the camera is to take the memoy card out and plug it inside a card reader on your computer. You can buy one for less than 30$ if you don't have it on your computer.
Transfering the pictures this way is much faster, and it saves your camera's battery

Does it take the picture? I mean, after you try to photograph something, can you download a good photo?

If yes you probably deactivated the display. Check the manual to see how to turn it on again.

If not, it's probably a software error, and you need to go to a local Nikon dealer

This is probably THE most common failure among digital cameras. There's a halfway chance of fixing it yourself, described here: http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixing-lens-error-on-digital-camera.html

Hello,
It may be of a type incompatible with the camera card reader. It is also possible that the card has a higher capacity than the camera microcode (firmware) is able to access. Check the manufacturer website to see if a recent firmware has enabled access to bigger capacity cards.
There is also the possibility of wrong format. Most cards are FAT or FAT32 to make them accessible by most computers, but you can never know.

Hope it helps
