Question : Is my Circuit City warranty still valid
Last year I bought a Nikon Coolpix L14 with a warranty from Circuit City. After they closed, my camera stopped working, but I could no longer use the warranty. However, now that the Circuit City website is back up and running I was wondering if I could still use my warranty.
Answer:
If your warranty is still valid then you must contact Assurant Solutions, the company that now handles all effective Circuit City Advantage Protection Plans, for in-warranty support.Contact number for digital camera support: (800)555-4615For further information, visit the source link below for Assurant Solutions' press release.

Question : Nikon Coolpix L14 "Distortion Conrol"
Hi, so I've been doing my research on the Nikon Coolpix L14. I know that it lasts up to 1000 with a lithium battery, its really inexpensive, really compact, 7.1MP, and NO IMAGE STABILIZATION (which is fine). Now in the Nikon site, I came across the Features section and it mentioned something about Nion L14 having "Distortion Control" as part of it's features. Now, I just want to know what is Distortion Control I mean it can't be Optical Image Stabilization since it is not supported, so maybe it's a digital stabilizer I don't know really so please if anyone know please tell me. Thank you very much in advance _
Answer:
Distortion control corrects barrel and pincushion distortions which usually appear at the extreme focal lengths (wide or telephoto ends) of a lens. These distortions are very apparent when taking pictures of straight lines or buildings when zoomed out all the way; lines seem to bulge out in the center of the picture.Read more about image distortion here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_distortionThe option on the L14 can do one of two things (I can't say for certain which it is since I don't own the camera):1. Focal length and other necessary data is saved with the image and the correction is applied in post-processing with Nikon's included software.2. Correction is applied in-camera after the image is taken.
