Nikon Coolpix 8700

I bought a used nikon coolpix 8700, and when I use the lens adapter with a filter or a lens and the zoom all together I receive an lens error message, I'm worried the camera is broke and I spent $300.00 with a short warranty time so I need to find out, I'll be very grateful for answer!

Lens adapter and filter.

This camera doesn't appear to take filters since the lens retracts.
If the lens error goes away without the adapter and filter I'd say don't use either - leave the lens as it's was designed to be.

You may be getting the error because the adapter and filter aren't allowing the lens to retract completely.

I'm looking to get into professional portrait photography. I've found a Nikon Coolpix 8700 camera in my price range but I'm not sure it's right for what I'm needing it for.

it might be but your not going to have enough control over it. try a d40 or d50 and lights? you might want to invest in that as well. also a backdrop.

I tried tweaking the camera settings but couldn't get it right. I'm thinking increase the shutter speed but it only under/overexposed the shots. Any advice?

Blurring is usually caused by moving the camera when you're taking the picture. Steady hands or a tripod my be necessary. I've seen some people take the camera down before the camera is done taking the picture. Click and hold is the answer.

When does this blurring occur? All the time? When taking a picture when fully zoomed? In low light?

The flash almost always overexposes everything. How do I fix that? I'm not standing too close to the subject when I try to use it.

What flash setting can I use for taking a picture at night?

What add on lens do you recommend for this camera that will provide a really good zoom?

Is there anyway to take pictures rapidly without all of them being blurry because the camera takes so long to focus a shot?

Why are the multi-shot (rapid shots) not showing up on my camera card when I put it in my camera, and why does it show a clipboard on the camera screen when I try using that feature?

multi shots use manual focus,

use a tripod

lens attachments no way I would use them the optics are poor

flash at nite use nite portrait if ding people shots

why is it over exposing post an example and may be able to answer

Do you think it is possible to buy a Nikon Coolpix 8700 under 300USD?

Even on eBay prices are reaching $300+. I don't want to sound negative, but your chances of finding this camera at that price is unlikely.
