My old NICON S-210 refuses to download via USB to computer can it be the 1GB memory card? I have a new battery.
Asked by: Bruce
As the time distance between the date of the camera and the date of the computer increase any number of irregularities can cause problems. The simplest work every time solution is a simple usb card reader. Take the card out of the camera and connect it to the computer with one of these:B&H # TRTSRDF5W

Can you manually control the exposure (shutter speed)?

No. When you depress the button halfway to take a photo the exposure is set. You can, however, set the camera for exposure compensation.

question

Why is there no USB cable listed anywhere in the pkg or accessory?
Asked by: Steve
Hi, I have an older Coolpix L22 and use Nikon Transfer and ViewNX in my Dell E series laptop. It's easy to edit and crop photos this way and would be much more difficult using only the camera. Do these Nikon programs work with newer Coolpix cameras?
