Nikon N50 35mm SLR Camera Questions & Answers
Error message
Hey there deliafuentes, I would suggest you check your film to ensure it is seated correctly and fed across to the orange line inside the winding post on the right side of the open back of the camera. If this is not the problem, I would check the settings to ensure you are not in a protection mode which will prevent you from snapping a picture which is not properly focused or without the necessary light required. Try turning off the auto features to test the possibility. Another option is the batteries may have insuffient power to drive the features which you are using. Switch to a new set, preferrably not rechargeable or generic. Good Luck!
I bought an older 28mm
Set the aperture to its smallest opening (largest f/number) and lock it. You can control the aperture from the camera, the same way you do it on a lens without an aperture ring.
Putting lens on Nikon N50
Hi jbentivolio, your question is not clear. What is the issue? Will the lens not go on the camera. Make sure the lens is a Nikon lens, if not make sure the lens has a Nikon mount as a lens designed for another camera vendor will not fit on a Nikon. Without special adaptors lens are not interchangeable between vendors.

The lens aperture ring will need to be set to the largest number, and locked to that point. This allows the camera to control the aperture as it needs. If you have changed lenses to something other than what came with the camera this could also be the problem. Again make sure the aperture is set on the largest number and the problem should go away.

Check to see that the lens aperture ring is set to the smallest (largest numerical) aperture setting (usually f22 or such). Nikon AF cameras have to have their lenses set at the smallest aperture for most of their program modes to work. Nikon AF lenses have a small slide or twist lock adjacent to the aperture ring to lock it in place at the smallest aperture. This may have been unlocked during the cleaning.
Another possibility is that the lens's electrical contacts were damaged during cleaning, so the body is not "seeing" the lens. Do you have another lens you could attach to the body to test this theory?
Camera flashes "error" when turned on
Check if the aperture is set on anything other than 22. This would generate an error message. the N50 (and other auto Nikon cameras) needs to have the lens aperture set to the smallest -- AutoFocus lenses have a lock on them to lock the aperture at the smallest. Some models, such as the N5, can be set to use either the lens' aperture ring or the camera's command dial to set the aperture, but most simpler Nikon auto cameras can only be set by the camera. Setting the lens to its smallest aperture tells the camera that it can control the lens. If the lens is set to anything else than the smallest aperture, F-- shows up on the camera's LCD, and the camera locks up. Check your camera manual for complete info.
How do i cset the lens to smallest aperture
Depends on the lens. If it is a G lens, you have to do this on the camera body. Set the program dial to A and use the wheel on the camera body. If the lens is not a G lens but it's autofocus-capable, you can do the same.
The smallest aperture is the one with the highest number, this is normally f/22 or f/32.

This can happen if you are using a non-G lens, without the lens aperture being set to the minimum aperture and locked.
