Looking for Answers about Nikon Inc. COOLPIX L120?

Someone said he recorded 30 min of video with his 4 Gb sd card, and with more space on the card could record more.
That is not true, the limit is 30 min for each video, even if you have a 32 Gb sd card, you can not record a video larger than 29 min 59 seconds.

Thanks for the replies. After I posted I did find the answer. a Class6 is the minimum required for recording uninterrupted high quality video settings. if you run a lower class card there is a risk of the video stopping when the card can no longer keep up.

I just got the 4GB card for this camera. It holds about 1500 pictures and 29 minutes of video. If you want more video than just 29 minutes, than you should probably use a 6 or 10 GB card.

Already is.

Yes, they made a adapter and filters for it.Amazon.

The camera comes with a lens cover in the box. ou could probably find some sort of case to protect the other 2.

I was experiencing the same issue with focus while zooming video. I went into menu settings for video and changed the focus to "full time auto focus" and the results improved greatly! Hope this helps you out

Coolpix L-120 I am not sure about the red eye feature because my flash does not work. However, even with the feature working, you must use your software to remove the red eye most of the time.

I agree with you about the movies and the playback

Actually you can, but not in the way you are thinking of. Night portrait mode and portrait mode and some others don't allow digital zoom.

According to the manual you can NOT turn off the digital zoom as you can in other Nikon models. We like to turn it off because we find that people do not pay attention to the digital zoom indicator.

No, look in the DSLR section, not the compact camera section. Only SLRs and Micro 4/3rds. Not Compacts.

Only DSLRs, SLRs, and Micro 4/3rds cameras have swappable lenses.

Any tripod will work, its a 1/4 inch bolt on all of them, If you are doing Panoramic a tripod with a bubble level would be very handy.

There are a wide variety of tripods in a wide price range. The camera has an industry standard 1/4" female threaded receiver. Any tripod with a standard 1/4" bolt for mounting a camera will work. The individual characteristics of the tripod are user choice based on application. You may wish to consult a local camera store to determine the tripod features most suitable for your application.

Don't purchase L120! Not worth the money. Very undependable working and shutter release. No to both questions! Don't be disappointed like I was

Click on the menu button, go to the left to the set up button (wrench), go down to print date, then choose one.

I saw an LCD proctector advertised at Best Buy for the CoolPix L120

I suggest that you buy the Coolpix L120. Great photos and superb HD movies begin with Nikon’s high power 21x wide-angle optical Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens. This powerful zoom lens, with a 25-525mm range equivalent, closes the distance between you and your subjects. Capture your son firing off the game-winning lacrosse shot or your daughter’s first ride on a two wheeler. Whether it’s a panoramic shot of the entire family on a favorite sledding hill, or a photo of your children playing in the backyard, you’ll shoot effortlessly and accurately with the COOLPIX L120.

If you’re new to photography, no worries, this camera has intelligent features to help you out. Five-way VR Image Stabilization uses sensor shift to minimize the effects of camera shake, virtually eliminating blurred images. Trick-or-treating with the kids? The COOLPIX L120 has a high ISO speed up to 6400 to capture fast moving or low-light scenarios.
Behind every great photo and HD movie is the COOLPIX L120, a camera brimming with technological advances. Smile Timer detects when a subject smiles and automatically takes the photo. Blink Warning identifies when a subject may have blinked and signals you to retake the shot. Face-Priority AF is an innovative face-identifying technology that detects and focuses up to 12 faces automatically.

Red-eye will no longer ruin family photos. In-camera Red-Eye Fix automatically fixes the problem before it occurs. Blotchy, uneven complexions are also a thing of the past with COOLPIX L120’s Skin Softening, which smoothes skin tones. This versatile camera also has 17 Scene Modes that adjust camera settings to selected scenes, assuring great pictures at school plays, backyard barbecues, or athletic events.

It is the ISO, which is the "film speed". You can let the camera select the ISO for you by using one of the "easy auto modes" (ie portrait or beach) or you can go to auto mode, select, click on menu, and change the ISO accordingly. General Rules and tips for ISO Settings:

* Use an ISO of 100 or 200 when taking photographs outside in sunny conditions.
* If the sky is overcast or it is evening time, then use an ISO within the range of 400 to 800.
* Night time or in cases of low light you might need to set your digital camera ISO to 1600+. If you don't then your photo will appear too dark if at all.

To get close up and avoid blur, use a low setting. The lower the ISO number, the slower the speed however. The higher the ISO number, for example 1600, the faster the speed. So if trying to catch a shot at a sporting event, you may have to play around to get ISO you find desirable.

No. You can only add lenses to digital SLR cameras, not compact digital cameras.

Click on the menu button, click on the shooting menu (camera), click on continuous, then go to Multi-shot 16

No. You can only add lenses to digital SLR cameras, not compact digital cameras.

yes, just click on the menu button, go to the wrench (set up) button and go down the the bottom where it says battery type. Click on Lithium.

L-120 Try removing the batteries, turn off all programs, and let the camera sit idle for at least 24 hours. This might fix your problem. If that doesn't work send the camera to Nikon for repair.

I can't find anything that has to do with a fisheye mode, but there still could be a way.
