Nikon Coolpix S3100 Camera: How do I copy photos from camera memory to SD card

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 02:53:48 -0700

I recently found my Nikon Coolpix 16mp S3200 (the closest version I could find on here was the S3100) and I realized I have been taking photos on the camera memory without an SD card. Whenever I insert the card it says that there is no photos on the memory but I cant access the photos on the camera without taking the card back out, how would I go about copying the photos onto the SD card?

Is there a solution for deeper lens disassembly that would allow analysis or cleaning deeper into the lens mechanism? Many other have been asking the same question of stuck lenses in the comments under the lens disassembly guide.

Nikon Coolpix S3100 Camera: Camera won't turn on after being dropped

Sat, 16 Feb 2019 00:22:12 -0700

I dropped my camera and it won't turn on at all now. I think it landed on the lens which was extended at the time I dropped it. Now it won't turn on at all. The best I get is a green light around the power button for a second or two when I first depress the button to turn it on, then I hear a little bit of motor noise, doesn't last long at all, then nothing. I can't even get those 2 things to repeat unless I take the battery out for a few seconds then put it back in. The screen stays blank & the lens never moves. I have tried plugging in the charger to see if that helped & with the charger plugged in, I could not get the green light on around the power button nor any motor noises from the camera like before. It was dead, the charger didn't help. Please, if someone can help, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
