Nikon Coolpix 3200 Digital Camera always shows a system error sign and will not do anything else

SOURCE: system error showing up on Nikon coolpix 3200

A System Error is a general error which can be caused by many things: lens problem, CF Card problem, general camera failure, etc. Before sending the camera in, check these:

1. Use the memory card that originally came with the camera (or a Nikon approved card)
2. Remove and replace the battery

If the error is still displayed, contact Nikon's Service Department (below). If the above tips do not help the camera must be sent to Nikon Service, there are no user serviceable parts on Nikon Coolpix cameras.

SOURCE: when we switch on the camera, it's keep on showing system error.

Hi there, the manual says to simply reinsert the batteries and try it again. I'm sure you have already tried that. If so, the manual says nothing more than to contact the re-tailer. Sorry.
