Downlaod nikon camera model coolpix L-16 - Cameras

Until the green light stops blinking and glows steadily.

sounds like it was damaged, needs repairing, very common problem

I do not have an L26, but on Nikon SLR's there is a menu item that allows you to reset the counter. The L26 may have the same feature since it is rather basic. Have you looked in the manual that came with your camera?

Without knowing the model of your Coolpix I can't give you a definite answer, but on most of them you press the T end of the zoom button to reduce the number of thumbnails and then to zoom in on a selected picture. The W end of the zoom button goes the other way.

If you need a manual, select the model of your Coolpix from the list at

The best for you to decide is to decide on by yourself with the follwoing tips:
Take a trial shot using both the cameras in close up , portrait and scenes. and also using the flash. Now check the clarity to confirm your taste.
The customere controls are they friendly to you?
Finally check for accessories that come free along , stand, covers, memorry cards, chargers etc.
The price is the last to decide between Nikon and Canon.

you can put a 16 gig in without any trouble

You can download PictureProject software from this address: http://chsv-soft.nikon-image.com/jpn/software/win/S-P2____-175WU-JPNJP.exe

That is the only Nikon software that supports Vista since your camera is "outdated".

Here is a quote from Nikon site:

• We had released a Windows Vista-compatible version of PictureProject, v1.7.5, for use with the models listed below, and all models that followed. PTP (models supporting the PTP protocol) and Mass storage USB transfer options can be used for camera connection. However, the camera's transfer button can not be used to transfer pictures over a PTP connection. Set the USB transfer option to Mass storage to enable the camera's transfer button.
  Currently, the new Nikon Transfer and View NX will replace Picture Project as our new Image Transfer and Browser applications. These applications support the same Nikon products as Picture Project.

Nikon has tested the following cards and approved their use in the Coolpix 3200:

Other brands and capacities of cards may work, but Nikon cannot guarantee their operation. Check with the manufacturer of the third-party card for compatibility information. Nikon recommends keeping one of the approved cards available for troubleshooting.

Multi Media cards (MMC) are not recommended and should not be used.
