The COOLPIX L820 has an HDR compositing option built into the Backlighting Scene Mode. When the Backlighting Scene Mode is selected the camera displays the option to turn HDR compositing On or Off. With HDR compositing enabled the camera shoots images continuously at high speed and saves both a non-HDR composite image and an HDR composite image. Detailed information on the Backlighting Scene Mode with HDR can be found on page 42 of the L820 manual.

Question

Memory card problems

I just got the camera and put the memory card in and it says this memory card cannot not be used? I have tried 3 different cards, and yes the card is in the correct way? Is this the camera broken right out of the box? First Nikon camera and not off to a great start.

The L820 has Automatic exposure mode only. Because you cannot control the depth of field, it may be difficult to achieve the results that you want.

No, Coolpix cameras have fixed lenses. You would have to get either a Nikon 1 series or one of Nikon's DSLRs to have changeable lenses.

The UC-E16 USB Cable that comes with the COOLPIX L820 is provided for connecting the camera to a computer or printer. Instructions on connecting your camera to a computer or printer start on page 78 of the L820 manual.

In the case of the L820 this cable cannot be used to charge the camera because the L820 uses AA batteries. While rechargeable AA's can be used in the L820, it would be necessary to use a separate battery charger to recharge them. If you choose to use rechargeable AA batteries in the L820 please refer to page 14 of the L820 manual for a list of applicable batteries and page 82 of the Reference section of the manual for information on setting the camera's Battery Type.

While you are in Pet portrait mode, When you aim the camera at the face of a dog or cat, the camera can detect the face and focus on it. By default, the camera automatically releases the shutter once it has focused (pet portrait auto release). To turn off pet protrait auto release while in pet portrait mode, press the timer button on the camera, then select off and press OK.
