How to tell how much space is left on a memory card?

I used to have a Kodak camera where it said on the main picture screen how many pictures you had left to take. I have a Nikon now but I'm not sure how many pictures I have left on the camera. Its a Nikon Coolpix L18. Thanks. :)

Why does my computer say Scanner or Camera in use, try again later?

I plug in my camera, click on Computer, click on the camera icon and get an empty box. I click on "get pictures from camera" and then the box pops up saying "camera or scanner in use/try again later".

I own a Nikon Coolpix L11
The batteries are brand new
The photos/videos show up on playback
The USB port recognizes all the other devices that I plug into the port

What could be wrong?
Added (1). The cam.didn't come with software and I didn't say that I was using any.

How much will it cost to repair my Nikon Coolpix P100 lens?

Being the idiot that I am, I dropped my brand new camera the other day and now there's a small crack in the lens! As you can understand I'm desperate to get it fixed as soon as possible. The camera is a Nikon Coolpix p100 which I know has a warrant service, but I'm not sure whether I'm entitled to it or not as I bought the camera off eBay and so have no receipt. If anyone could give me an estimate of how much repairing this is gonna set me back, please help! Or, even better, if you could give me advice in what I'm entitled to re: warranty. Either way thanks for your help:)
Added (1). The zoom, etc all work perfectly in the camera. It's just in the second lens that there's a slight crack which leaves a small brown dot in the middle of the screen which isn't exactly the kind of image quality I'm going for!

Nikon Coolpix fast blinking ONLY when transferring photos?


I tried transferring pictures from my Nikon Coolpix to my computer and the green light started blinking really really fast and then nothing happens. I then tried to charge it, so when I plugged it in, the blinking was normal. What's wrong with it? Why doesn't Nikon Transfer work? My camera is 3 years old FYI. Thanks!

Camera Flash Capacitor Discharged Will It Charge Again?


I was cleaning the dust inside my Nikon Coolpix L610 and i received a very powerful shock… After that the flash only had the power to flash once and is now dead. The red light that indicates a power problem with the flash is on, on the top of the camera.

I'm assuming i rapidly discharged the Flash Capacitor a battery that stores power from the main batteries for use only with the flash. Everything on the camera works fine, just the flash being dead, and yes i know how to make sure the flash is on…

My question is, Do i have to get a new battery or "Flash Capacitor" Or does it just take time for the main batteries to charge the Flash Capacitor, and i need to let it sit for awhile. My camera is an advanced camera but takes AA's.

What do i need to do. I know i did not kill or short something perm because the flash still worked once afterwards.

Best sort-of-professional cameras?


Hi! I'm only in highschool, but i'm considering photography as a future career. Right now I have a (not recommended) Nikon coolpix L110. I am looking for another camera within my price range (i'm going to be making money this summer so probably $300-$800). I want to look for some amateur versions but I also want to consider some more-professional versions (like that I could use on a photography internship taking pics at a wedding, portraits, etc.) I'm not very experienced when it comes to cameras so I need advice! Please Help! Thank you:)
