Q: QuestionI need a camera that is WIA and/or TWAIN compatible. I don't know what that means, but does this camera meet those issues?

Asked 9 years ago by QueenFlamingo.

• A:Answer The means the camera is compatible with Windows Image Acquisition. You would be able to use windows to download pictures directly from the camera when connected via USB. The camera, in addition, has Nikon View NX-i software with Nikon Transfer. If you download Nikon View NX-i, it will load Nikon Transfer as well. Either way, the COOLPIX S3700 is WIA compatible.

Q: QuestionIs this camera adequate for taking photos for eBay - mostly clothing on mannequins indoors, from different views, but also close ups of clothing labels & tags and other small random collectibles? Can you use the flash for close ups? How close can you get?

Asked 9 years ago by tleigh.

• A:Answer The Nikon COOLPIX S3700 digital camera is ideal for getting quality images of subjects both big and small. To take close-ups just set the camera to Macro Mode. You can then get as close as 2 cm (0.8 in.) from the lens to take a fully focused close-up, however, flash may be unable to light the entire subject at this distance, as it is limited to a distance of 50 cm (1 ft. 8 in.) or more to be effective in this mode. To learn more about Macro Mode check out page 39 of the COOLPIX S3700 Reference Manual.

Q: QuestionWhy doesn't the flash always work ? When I click the flash button and it's suppose to be on it doesn't flash , but sometimes it does . I'm not satisfied with this camera at all !

Asked 9 years ago by Ana.

• A:Answer There are some modes that restrict the use of the flash on the Nikon COOLPIX S3700 digital camera. Try resetting the camera with the Reset All option found in the Setup Menu (wrench-shaped icon). This will bring everything back to default factory settings. Place the camera in Auto (green camera icon) mode. This will allow you to control the flash by using the flash option above the OK button. Make sure the flash option of your choice is highlighted before pressing the OK button so that is applied. For further assistance please contact Nikon Support.
