A:AnswerYou would be best suited for cameras with a class 10 SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) Memory Card. Then find out the size that your camera supports. The NIKON COOLPIX B500 I purchased supports up to 64G card. Then get the biggest size your camera supports that you can afford, especially if you are going to take small video clips along with pictures.
A:AnswerYou will need to insert a memory disk. You can find a good sized one for about half the price inexpensively at Walmart. The more GB, the more pictures, but especially video you'll be able to store until you can download to a computer. I've always used the Sandisk brand. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerNo this camera does not do that but you can get the same result anyway. You need a higher end camera for that feature with a remote shutter release.
With your Coolpix you can set the timer, position yourself and it will go off and take the photo for you. If you do a few test runs you'll soon know exactly how far back you need to be from it to get you your full body shot. A tripod is a good idea for stability. You just need to do this over and over until it's just right. It may be tedious the first time you do it, but you will quickly know exactly how to do it each and every time after that.
Best of luck to you!

A:AnswerThe COOLPIX B500 does not live stream video. Individual movie files cannot exceed 4GB in size or 29 minutes in length, even if you have sufficient free space on the memory card for longer recording.
A:AnswerHi Gary,
I experienced the issue when I first setup the phone as well. Got me kind of nervous at first. I tried removing battery and media card.
But what worked was putting the lens cover on the camera and turning the camera on & off and the message went away. It happen to my wife when she stated to use the camera. I told but the lens cover on and the message went away.
Not sure why it pops up but it seems linked to the lens cover and lens.
Hope this helps.
