My name is Roger. To help minimize my camera loads, I purchased a Nikon Coolpix 9900 a few years ago, but have not found it to be very easy to use. Does anyone have any suggestions for simple to understand help. Thanks Roger

This is from U Tube, it will keep you busy for the rest of this evening and tomorrow but then you will know your camera

Sorry to be such a doubter but is it a S9900 or a P900? Big difference.

Roger,

Modern cameras have a lot of features. START shooting in Automatic mode and you'll get many nice shots. That is, start simple. Take a lot of pictures - experiment. As you move along, you will get progressively better. Be patient - start at the beginning.

Watch youtube as others have mentioned.

I downloaded the Nikon manual when I purchased a used S9600.Just go to the Nikon site. Should give you a good starting point along with YouTube and practice practice practice.

What don't you understand? There's a bunch of features on my coolpix b700 that are hard to understand, but I don't really use many of them. The essentials are adjusting the iso, aperture, shutter speed, I use center point auto focus. I set the picture quality and video for the highest available quality. I really don't need to know anything else. If I need to know a specific feature I look it up in the online manual or on youtube. In a real pinch I can post a specific question right here on UHH.
