Hi Jennifer,
Not too sure what that is, but first thing I would check is that you lens is set to its smallest aperture, such as f/22. Many times that err message means the lens is not closed down all the way. After closing the lens down the camera dials will set the aperture. Also, on many Nikon D type lens, not the G type, there is a small push pull button to lock the lens as it smallest opening.

Cordially,

SOURCE: 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.

unmount and remount the lens. Make sure you have the aperture ring on the lens set at the minimum f-stop number, ie f22, f32. There should be a small tab on the lens to lock the aperture ring in that position

You must have your lens set to the minimum aperture setting for this camera to function. I.E. f22,f32. The aperture ring moves a small tab on the outside of the mount ring when in that position.

SOURCE: (E) flashing err

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.

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.

When camera is turned on Err show on the screen.

The 'Err' message comes from the lens. Check to see that the aperture ring is correctly set on your lens.

Flashes Err followed by a circular symbol with min under symbol

The lens is set incorrectly. Set the aperture ring on the lens to f22 or 32 what ever the biggest number is on that aperture ring and lock it. It would work now.

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

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!
