The battery of my nikon coolpix 4300 is not working it is a new battery, but whenever i put it to charge it charges but the camera does not turn on (sorry if the question is confusing)
It sounds like there may be a problem with your Nikon Coolpix 4300 camera that is preventing it from turning on, even when you have a charged battery installed. Here are a few things you could try to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check the battery contacts: Make sure the battery contacts on both the battery and inside the camera are clean and free of debris. If there is any dirt or corrosion on the contacts, use a clean, dry cloth to gently clean them.
- Try a different power source: If you're charging the battery using a wall outlet, try using a different outlet or a different charger. If you're charging the battery using a USB cable, try using a different cable or a different USB port.
- Reset the camera: Sometimes, resetting the camera to its default settings can help resolve software-related issues. Check your camera's user manual for instructions on how to perform a reset.
- Contact Nikon customer support: If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be a problem with the camera itself. Contact Nikon customer support or take the camera to a professional repair service for further assistance.
I hope this helps!

I have a Nikon Coolpix
Check the manual for instructions on how to set it for the maximum number of megapixels and the best picture quality. If it has shake control, be sure you have it on. Set the camera to "auto" everything until you become more familiar with it.

Why is the white background not white?
This is a common problem. The metering and light balance are the reasons that you are having problems achieving good results with your photos.
All cameras on the auto cycle are calibrated for 18% gray. Another words a photo of all white results in 18% gray. A photo of black results in 18% gray. The camera adjusts the shutter speed and aperture to achieve an average light level of 18%. That is why photos of snow always appear gray. To compensate for this characteristic of the cameras an 18 % gray panel is held in front of the camera and than the settings are set.manually. The metering in the camera is now locked and using the same light levels objects will be in their natural level.
A second problem is the white balance. Using flash avoids some of these problems. Adjusting the camera for source lighting type will help the most. The light balance is the cause of discoloration of the objects in the photo. Usually the camera white balance can be set for auto, incandescent, fluorescent, outdoor or flash,
Use a manual setting if it is available on you camera, You need to adjust the settings until you get acceptable results. If the photo is dark add light by reducing the aperture number to a lower number allowing more light. After the aperture is open wide(lowest number) increase the exposure to longer time. With very low light levels a tripod may be necessary.. After doing this once record the numbers for next time.
