This sounds like a digital logic problem with your camera's electronics. Contact Nikon at 1-800-NIKON US (1-800-645-6687) 9AM-8PM EST, Monday through Friday and they will be able to advise you.

A program such as "Pandora Recovery" has worked for me when I had deleted photos off of a SD card.

Not as many photos I used the free version up to 1 Gb. Suggest attempting to copy, if possible, the 3.2gb to another drive before starting any recovery.

If priceless photos suggest finding a professional recovery service and pay the $$

Hopr this helps?

You can download it from the manufacturer's web site at

Hi,

The Largest SD Card that you could use on this Model is 2 GB.

Let me know, if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

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

The flash uses more battery than anything else. Try turning off the flash, you may be surprised at the results. The number two power hog is the screen, and it's worthless at the beach or in any bright sunlight. That's why I won't buy a camera that doesn't have a view finder. Still, you should get a lot more than 12 shots from a pair of lithiums. I have a pair of lithiums in a Canon Power Shot that have taken hundreds of stills and quite a bit of video (all outdoors, no flash or screen) and are still usable.

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.
