Can you manually change the aperture on a L310 Nikon coolpix?

I have a few questions that never seem to get answered abut the L310… Since I was unable to get the Nikon D3100 or the Canon rebel t3i I was blessed to receive The L310… Now I know that this camera is not a DSLR which is what I originally wanted but i have been reading that this camera does have lens extensions.Is this true? and can I manually change the aperture and shutter speed on the L310?
Thank you soooo much!

My Nikon S9300 camera will not read any of my SD cards that used to work in it?

Earlier today my sister decided to put her memory card from her camera into my one. Ever since she has done that, now any memory card I put into my camera pops up with an error message saying that it is not compatible or cannot be read. Both my memory cards worked fine before that and I didnt have any problems. I have formatted both memory cards now, reset the camera and formatted its memory and the same error messages keep popping up when I insert them. Please help me because Im going overseas tomorrow and really need my camera.

My Nikon coolpix s3000 wont turn on? - 1

When I turn my camera on it just flickers black and white, the green light turns on but then it just turns off again. I'm not sure if it;s the rechargable battery or the camera itself? This won't happen without it being plugged in, it just stays off.

What does 'SORLST' and 'NCFL' mean in my camera's folders? HELP :?

When I open my camera's folders (I have a Nikon 12.2 megapixel Coolpix camera) to view pictures, I see 3 folders: DCIM, MISC, and NCFL.
DCIM and MISC have my pictures, while NCFL just has a link to an (internet explorer) 'SORLST'
I downloaded SORLST but it won't open so does anyone know what it stands for or what it could be? or do you know why i can't open it? Every time i click to open it, a window opens, then closes really quickly, then an option comes up to save or open (this happens over and over again)
thanks a lot!
