Possible cause
• Ambient lighting too bright: go to darker location
or use HL-CP11 monitor hood (sold separately).
• Monitor is dirty.
• Monitor brightness requires adjustment.
• Camera is in playback mode.
• Battery is exhausted.
• Message "Memory Card full" appears in monitor:
not enough memory remaining to record further pic-
tures at current settings.
• AF indicator flashes red: camera unable to focus.
• Flash-ready lamp flickers: flash is charging.
• Message "Memory Card is not formatted" appears
in monitor: memory card is not formatted for use in
COOLPIX 2000.
• Message "No Memory Card" appears in monitor:
no memory card in camera.
• Flash is off.
• Flash window is blocked.
• Subject is outside range of flash.
• Exposure compensation is too low.
• Exposure compensation is too high.
• Main subject was not object closest to camera when
shutter-release button was pressed halfway.
• Camera shook during shot. Blurring caused by cam-
era shake can be reduced by:
– Using the flash
– Zooming the camera out
– Using the Best-Shot Selector (BSS)
– Using the self-timer
– Using a tripod
• Shutter speed too slow. Use the flash.
• Noise reduction, which helps reduce noise at slow
shutter speeds, is available in
mode. Using this scene when appropriate can re-
duce noise.
