Please follow these instructions: 1. Open the camera back 2. Pull the film leader across the red film index mark (red line) 3. Check to ensure film is properly positioned with no slack, then close camera back 4. Fully depress shutter release button to advance to frame 1. Check the rewind lever if it turns counter clockwise when you depress the shutter release button.
Keep on trying this procedure until you get it right. Most of the time, the error is in not pulling the film leader enough to reach the red film index mark.
If you're still having a problem with this, the next best option is to have the camera checked by a competent camera technician.

My Nikon N60 wont load film. I load the film but it doesnt wind the film, but when i take a picture it rewinds it. I dont know what im doing wrong

Hi. Pay careful attention to the way the end of the film fits through the take-up reel. Open the back (empty) and give the wind knob a few twists. That will tell you which way it is turning. Put the end of your film through the slot in the take-up reel so itd winds onto itself as it advances. There's usually enough extra unexposed wound onto the factory reel that it won't cost you and pix at the end of it. Pull enough out of the cassette to be sure your winding-load position is really going to hold when you advance. Good luck.

What type of film does a n60 slr camera use

The N60 uses standard 35mm film (also known as 135). 35mm film usually comes in 12, 24, or 36 exposure rolls, any of which will work. 35mm film is available in black-and-white, color transparency (color slides), and color negative (color prints). It's also available in infrared, both color and black-and-white, but the N60 will not work with infrared film.
35mm film is available online and at any camera shop. Many department stores, drugstores, and even supermarkets also carry film, though not as wide a selection as a decent camera shop.

What does err with flashing film picture mean

It means either your film has reached the end, the film is jammed and cannot advance or the film is improperly loaded. The film leader may have slipped from the sprocket or broken,

My 35mm Nikon N60 will turn on but it won't take the actual photo. I think I loaded the film correctly, but every time I press down to shoot, it the little screen flashes "F EE'. What does this mean...

It means the aperture ring isn't locked. Turn the aperture ring on the lens to its smallest setting (largest F/number). If the ring has a lock, lock it. You can control the aperture from the camera the same way you would using a lens with no aperture ring.

How do i rewind the film on the nikon n60?

The camera should rewind the film when it reaches the end of the roll. If it doesn't, or to force a rewind in the middle of a roll, press the mid-roll rewind button with a pointed object. The button is on the bottom of the camera, toward the left end (away from the handgrip), and marked with a roll of film.

How do i load up my film?

Turn on the main switch, then open the camera back and insert the film. Pull film leader out to the red index mark. Gently close the camera back until the lock release snaps closed. Film automatically advances to the first frame.

Nikon N60 fEE Issue

First of all, you can download a manual from here.

(http://www.devicemanuals.com/guide/Cameras/Nikon/Nikon-F60-N60-Instruction-Manual-TmpNMU5qUT.html)

Basically, with certain types of lenses you need to set the aperture ring on the actual lens to its minimum setting (f22 or f32). Once it is set here, the camera can then control the aperture. It's covered on page 16 of the manual.

Hope this helps,

Matt
