The S3700 is a small 20MP point and shoot. It takes pretty good images but the one we have seems to have lost its way.

Press the menu button and it asks if you want to delete the image. Press the OK button and it goes to the main camera menu. You can't get to the menu selection side bar to do a reset.

Does anyone know if there is a "hard reset" procedure for these cameras. I have been searching the net to no avail.

Thanks for any help...

Batteries? Take the batteries out and wait for 2 days for the on-board battery wears down. It might reset itself to factory settings. Put the battery back in it (fully charged) and see if that works! ...if not? I would call Nikon and ask them for a solution. I wish very good luck for you!!!

Thanks, R.G. but I can't get to the right part of the menus to reset it.

Thanks, rangel28.

The problem is that when I press the "Menu" button it asks me if want delete the image. Not the expected response.

How old is this 3700? & if it's Defect, or Old you may or may not get it Repaired by Nikon.

My Suggestion as you were suggested by other posters on UHH get her a New Camera, Look at Amazon 1st, cause they basically have everything & other camera online Sites.

Thanks for your input.

Yes it probably to old get repaired and not worth the price. That's why I asked for possible fixes.

My other alternative is to get her to use her cell phone camera but there is some resistance.

Thanks again.

Yeah... that's what I was Told around Easter, when my Canon SX50 fell in the Floor & the Focusing was Acting up & the Gears stopped Malfunctioning & Shut Down the Camera, I Posted on UHH on if there was a Camera Repair Shop that would Repair my SX50 & because the Camera was 9 Years Old & Parts were not in Stock.

The Advise I got from UHH users Posting back to me was to Sell the Camera on eBay for Parts, to a Camera Shop where I could Fix my SX50, to even one who wanted to Sell his SX50 to me.

I instead bought a Lumix DC-FZ80 Package from Walmart Online for under $475.00, which included A Case, Flash/Slave Light, Video Flash, Mini 12 Inch Flex Tripod, A Camera Care Kit, a Damn Good Deal I Ordered the Day After Easter.

So how you do for your Wife is on you, do your Homework on Buying her a Camera, even if it's a Camera Phone.
