This happened to us as well. We contacted Costco (where it was purchased) who offers free extended service plans of the products they sell. They walked me through a fix, which worked for us.
1. Hold power button for 60 seconds.
2. Done.
Apparently, it resets the internal computer.

Make sure you are using the wall charger that came with it. It needs more power than an average charger like a iPhone or other USB standard charger.

Disconnect the USB cable or unplug the Charging AC adapter and correctly connect it again, or try a back up battery. Also, connect the USB to another computer in order to charge the battery. If the problem persists you will need to send the camera and the charger to be evaluated.

I haven't found a selection where you can take fisheye photos, but you can change your photos to a fisheye effect. After taking your pic, go to playback and select menu. Under the menu options go to filter effects - there are a few options in addition to fisheye, like color select and painting, soft, etc. Play around with some of them. It's fun. Good luck hope you enjoy your camera.

create an account in My Nikon, go to my questios, explain what was missing and they will contact you or log back in to My Nikon. I was short a part and they shipped it to me no charge. If you don't want to wait just go out and buy a usb to mini usb cable, they are universal.

Question
Where can I get a printed manual (that will fit in my camera bag)?
No printed manual came with this camera. I realize that I can print off a copy from the software included, but I would rather not cart around an 8 x 11 unbound manual. My prior Coolpix camera included a nice little manual that I could put into my camera bag and carry with me on my trips. Why doesn't this newer version include a usable manual????

You can charge the battery inside the camera using the EH-69P AC Adapter or your computer. Also, you can use the MH-65 charger, but you will have to buy that separately.
