Coolpix L820 Will Record A Video, But Will Not Take Picture.

  • 1

I took more than 500 pictures on a recent vacation and a few more since I’ve been home. Now, when I press the shutter-release button and see the green border, nothing further happens. That is, I cannot press the button any further to take the picture. I can, however, record a video. The batteries are full.

Am I doing something wrong?

  1. Hi,
    when the still camera works the shutter of the aperture and iris is opening for a limited time, if it opens without limit the excess light will enter in and the result will be blurry picture, if the shutter is not opening the picture will be dark. in movie mode the shutter will be always in opened state, so I think there may be fault in shutter.
    in some cases a slight jerk giving to cam when you depressing the snap button will reset the shutter and will work normally.

  2. Assuming it’s not defective, is it possible the SD card has a limit on the number of pictures it can hold? I imagine the pictures and videos are kept in separate folders on the card.

    Otherwise maybe one of the settings was changed. Here’s a download for the manual in case you don’t have it:
