Since with the inception of Nippon Kogaku until the current Nikon Corporation - they were probably hundreds of camera models as well as million of Nikkor optics being sold thus far. It is very hard to satisfy everyone intention when each surfer coming to this Pictorial History Website (first created since 1997). Over the last few years, I have constructed quite a number of sites featuring a selective Nikon camera models (Nikon F(based on Mike Liu's previous effort, the Nikon F2 series, F3 Series, Nikon F4, NIkon F5, the digital SLR series as well as the midrange models such as Nikon FM series, FA, FE series, Nikkormat/Nikomat and the compact EM/FG/FG20 etc..). Each of these featured model has their respective Message Board to support specific owner of each camera types. However, there are a number of very good Nikon SLRs (as well as the film and/or Digital compacts wer quite exciting too. But due to various reasons, I cannot featured them one by one. This Message Board was created just for that purpose - to provide a gateway for those that were not being featured. You may use it for whatever you think suitable - questions & answers (Q&A) or just make good use of it to share experience among one another. The use of this section of the photography SITE is not confined soly for this purpose, you may also make use of it for other photographic matters. Some of the remarks presented within the pictorial history site was entirely personal and I do not wish to influence any decision prior to any potential purchases or disposal of your equipment. You may make use of this convenience here to present your own views as well. Enjoy.

Hi, a friend of mine gave me his Nikon F601m but I don't have a manual. I'm pretty new to photography so I'm not really all that familiar with the controls. Is there a website that features the camera's functions and controls for free? I really want to get to know this camera more. Thank you in advance for any help you could offer. Good day...

Chris Barker: usually whenever the back cover is opened, it will reset the frame counter and the film rewind button. Try to locate the railings between your film back cover that mates with the camera body if there is a hidden latch, use a pencil and push it and observe if the reset button will srping back to noarmal position. I guess others may also have other suggestions to solve your problem before sending your camera for service.

Hi Jeanette: To begin with, I am not very familiar with the Nikon
N65 (I'm much too old-fashioned for autofocus), so you may have to bear with me a bit.

You're on the right track with your thinking: the camera's automatic settings are the result of the reading taken by the light meter in the camera. When you then switch to Manual, you can choose to either follow those same settings or to change them to suit your needs.

The problem comes up when the automatic flash pops up: now, the settings are NOT the result of the meter readings, but rather of the light output of the flash and your distance from the subject, and they are only valid if you use the flash.

You should have another option though: if you set the camera to Manual, the meter should still be working. Not having an N65, I'm not sure what the meter display looks like in the manual mode but I would thnk it will be in LCD display. In the case some many other cameras, there might be a + and - emblem with either a bar or a needle-like indicator, or maybe the + and - marks just appear and disappear in changing light? You should be able to see this indicator change as you manually adjust the aperture and shutter speed of the camera; when the indicator is balanced between the + and the -, you have what the camera's meter thinks is the correct combination of settings (indoors, I would set the lens wide open and adjust only the shutter speed for this). In Manual mode, the pop-up flash shouls stay down and not interfere with proper meter operation.

There should be information in your user's manual to help identify and read the meter indicators. In case you dont have a instruction manual for the Nikon N65. go to this page and download a PDF copy of the user's manual:

I hope this helps. Rick.
