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.

I used to experience this with my Nikon F3, thought I may have to send for repair but periodical works out :makes" it came back to live state. I think the corrosive areas still did not enabled good physical contacts with the power supply, anyway, if the corrosive areas are too serious or wide spread, there might be nothing to resolve the problem. Try earlier tips I offered. Hope this helps.

The "blood" of ALL Modern electronic cameras (SLR/Rangefinder) is the battery power. Try install a fresh set of cells first before making other assumptions. Most likely issues pertaining to this kind of phenomenon are generally power related. So, put your fingers crossed & ----- PRAY... haha ! p.s. check the battery contacts inside the battery compartment to see if they are corroded or rusty, if it does, try clean with a pencil eraser first before sending the camera to repair (even after cleaning, the camera maqy takes a while to re-establish power connection, spend a few days trying to initialize it).

Ah, back again for another question... And, thanks to the person who provided me with the link to the manual, it helped! Anyways, as I read through the manual I tried dinking with the buttons to make sure they did what it said they'd do. But, none of the buttons seem to be working... Such as the film rewind, mode, and drive. And now my camera isn't taking pictures. Could this be from low batteries? I've left my camera on (accidentally, of course) several times for a long period of time and I guess it made my batteries somewhat dead. Anyways, help would be much appreciated. And I really do hope it's just from low batteries. :P

Dear Stepahnie: Go to this page:
http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/htmls/models/htmls/slr8991.htm
There is a suggestive link for you to dowwnlaod the instruction manual (3.8MB) for the NIkon N8008s (F801s), both are quite similar in nature except the hidden improvement which you may never realize there are there. Hope this info helps.

Hi, I tried looking on here for a manual of a Nikon N8008 after someone else got a link for their camera, and I can't find it. I can't find one on the internet where I don't have to pay for it either. Help would be appriciated, thanks!

Hi Gerald: It would be helpful if you could mention what camera you have, but here's the routine for most of them:

First, you have to open the back. In most cameras this is done by pulling up on the rewind knob (the knob, about 3/4 inch in diameter, at the top left end of the camera). Pull up firmly agains spring pressure and the back should pop open. Some cameras have a latch to keep you from doing this accidentally; in the Nikon FM it's a collar below the knob, which you must rotate counterclockwise to release the knob. Some newer cameras have no rewind knob; these usually have a latch button at the left end, about in the center.

Once the back is open, place the film cartridge in the space in the left end of the camera. The protruding end of the film spool points down. Now pull the film across and push the end firmly into one of the slots in the takeup spool at the other end of the camera. Hold the film gently down against the sprocket wheels (just to the left of the takeup spool) while you advance the wind lever one frame and release the shutter. Make sure there is no slack in the film.... you may need to turn the rewind knob a little to make it taut (but don't think of this as a test of strength), and then close the back door. Now wind and fire the shutter again until the frame counter (a little window on top, at the right hand end) reads #1 - this usually requires 3 winds. while you do this, watch the rewind knob.... you should see it rotate counterclockwise as you wind the shutter, at least on the last time. if you don't see it rotate, try winding it clockwise -- it should offer resistance after very little movement. if it just turns and turns, the film has slipped out of the little slot in the takeup spool and you'll have to start over (and probably with a new roll of film, because you will have just pulled the end of the film back into the can)
