Question about Nikon Coolpix 4300 Digital Camera
Hi, my camera has been doing this for two years off and on, more often lately. I also found the lens sticking when vacationing somewhere warm and humid and tropical. I ususally fix it by gently pushing on the lens as I turn it off. It may take several times for the camera to correct itself. I found this website hoping to find a better solution to this problem, too, it sounds like the only solution is to upgrade to a new camera. Too bad, I love my 4300 and have been very happy with the photos taken. But, having a camera that can take 7mp and up is attractive and for the price of repairing this one. Hope this helps.

Have just checked nikon tech support as you suggested. They say can only be fixed by Nikon so will need to be sent to them for repair.(which would cost more than buying a new 4MP camera these days!) Appreciate your time.
By the way, this is what Nikon Tech support said. (using the original memory card and replacing the battery didn't help me but may help someone else so here's what they said.)
"Having a "System Error" message display on the camera's LCD display generally indicates a problem where the camera will need to come to Nikon for repair. 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:
Use the memory card that originally came with the camera (or a Nikon approved card)
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."
