## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone know approximately how many pictures you can take with a set of 4 Lithium batteries?**
A: Amazingly, I got about 1,320 photographs using brand new Energizer AA Lithium batteries. About 20% or so of the photographs were taken using the flash.

**Q: Does the camera have a built in mic**
A: It does, and the mike does a nice job of picking up sounds really well. I've used this model for a couple of years, occasionally shooting video with it for YouTube. It has been solid on sound for that purpose.

**Q: Just got my camera and it doesn't search my home wifi and doesn't connect to my phones Bluetooth someone help any special buttons to press???**
A: Still doesn't work.  I tried iPhones and android phones.  It will work once.  But only the first time.  Tried updating firmware, uninstalling apps, everything.  Do not buy this camera.  Completely unusable app.  No timelapse feature either.

**Q: Can i flip the LCD screen for selfie?**
A: No, the screen does not totally flip. It does move up and down so that you can see what you are taking a picture of if you were to hold it above your head. The screen doesn't have a camera lens that rotates.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice camera at a nice price.
*by P***L on July 2, 2019*

I wanted a camera that took good pictures, without requiring a lot of fiddling with adjustments and without breaking the bank. This camera has filled the niche for me. The camera has several settings that are automatic , which cover different photo situations. The “Smart Scene” is your go to automatic option. It works well most all situations, whether normal or long distance. The “Macro” for up close on small objects works nice too. In the photos I attached, the flower was taken on Macro. This flower was about 3/4 of an inch wide. The lizard in the photo, was about 5-6 inches long and I took the picture from 20 feet away, with the camera set on Smart Scene. I was impressed that it took such a good picture of a small object, from so far away. The zoom is great. The camera isn’t too bulky and the weight is good. I carried it around my neck for three long days of checking out a zoo, an aquarium and a museum. Battery life was good too. I took a lot of pics and never changed batteries. On that note, it uses 4 AA batteries. I like this as opposed to a rechargeable battery, as you can throw extra batteries in your pocket and switch them out n the fly if the camera dies. Here are the cons: The auto focus can take several seconds to resolve itself. Not a deal breaker, but can be irritating. The flash will not auto deploy. You must manually extend it, if you think flash may be needed. I just left it up while inside. Other than that, the camera is great. It took a little practice and trial and error, but after about 45 min, I had it down. I can definitely recommend this camera.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pictures easy to use
*by B***R on June 21, 2017*

Great camera out of the box. If you receive an error message to turn off and then on remove the lens cap. The optical zoom works effortlessly. Without a tripod I was able to take steady shots from quite a distance in bright daylight. Perfect for nature photos. Bigger than a point and shoot but not overly so. Gone are the days of the camera bag with several lenses and focusing on your subject. The smartbridge is a bit slow but works, no cords to lose or carry. Used on a iphone se. All in all many features for the price. I would recommend this to s semi serious picture taker ready to advance from cell phone or small point and shoot pictures. If you want to take and really enlarge photos for wall art this is the way to go.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good beginner camera
*by A***A on September 27, 2023*

I bought this Nikon Coolpix B500 Digital Camera for my 15 year old granddaughter. She had expressed an interest in photography and been using an old digital point and shoot that we had given her several year earlier. She felt limited by the point and shoot's image quality and lack of features.Since opening this on Christmas 2022, she has been making some amazing photographs. She really has an eye for subject matter and composition. The camera lens is amazingly sharp, so her pictures easily stand up to enlargement many times over. The zoom is so good she has taken excellent pictures of the moon where the craters are clearly visible. She has even done some macro photography with this camera, so it's very versatile.One thing I don't like about it, and it's a personal preference, is that it does not allow for interchangeable lenses. Fortunately, as I said, the lens on it is amazingly sharp, so for most situations, it will work well. I just like having options. This camera also works with SnapBridge, a Nikon software program for it's cameras. The camera doesn't have all the bells and whistles of my D850, but it's only a fraction of the price, and for what you pay, you get an excellent beginner camera.
