Nikon Coolpix S2600 help!

mark4183 · 9 Apr 2013

Morning everyone,

So i have been given a Nikon Coolpix S2600 for work purposes to replace my old Canon after it got driven over. (great little camera Ixus750)

Problem i am having with the nikon, it constantly picks f3.2 when taking a photo which leaves alot of the photo out of focus due to the dof.

I have searched the menus on the camera, i have read the manual and i have searched google so this was my last resort. Im thinking it should be simple enough and surely it cant be fixed

Can anyone help me please?

Much appreciated

Having looked at the manual surely all you'd need to change is the shooting mode to landscape?

It might be that the macro mode is on...

Alternatively perhaps stick all menu items to auto and see what it does? Might be that the iso is set so the camera is compensating with the aperture to get a decent shutter...

thanks for replying,

i have tried everything i can think of, got hold of nikon customer service who just said 'its a point and shoot and you cant change the settings'

i understand that but i would expect the camera to change automatically to suit its surroundings the best it can.
