What are the correct settings for the appitures on a nikon n4004s my kids turned the both of them and when i try to use it it just flashes a red cross and circle. please help

The F-401s was called the N4004s in some parts of the world. You may download the N4004s manual from http://butkus.org/chinon/nikon/nikon_n4004_af/nikon_n4004_af.htm

The pre=flashes are for reduction of red eye and also for TTL indormation for camera to wotk properly with flash. Read Flash manual and some info in camera manual

just correct the date and time in your camera and it will stop flashing,thanks. from [email protected]

Hi Kathy,

Are you ready?

1. Make sure the Nikon SC-29's Red Panel's Lock Switch is set to the Left. Pointing at Left Black Screw.
2. Connect the Nikon SC-29's (Red Panel) to your camera's Hotshoe by pushing it as far as it goes.
3. Turn Lock Switch to the Right (turn CW). This locks down to camera.
4. Make sure Nikon SC-29 (other ends) AF-ILL is set to OFF.
5. Make sure your Nikon SB-800's Lock Switch is set to the left side.
6. Attach your Nikon SB-800 into this Hotshoe.
7. Switch the Lock Switch on flash to the right.
8. When you wants to AF from flash, set AF-ILL to "OFF"
9. For the best results, set AF-ILL to "ON".

I teaches, do repairs, services and modifications on all photographic equipments.

I hope they are helpful to you as well as for any Nikon Photographers using the Nikon SC-29 Cable.

Mine has Autofocus, ITTL, Slave and Wireless Radio Remote Flash.

You can download the manual from http://www.butkus.org/chinon/nikon.htm

You want to get the manual for the F-401x, N4004s is the name used in North America.

It means you need to set the correct date and time in the setup menu. It will keep taking pictures, but it's telling you that you have not set up the correct time & date in the camera.

The flash has been working fine until last night when I tried to take a picture and the flash was set to auto. When I press the button the little red light beside the flash sign lights up, but the camera does not take the photo. When I set it to flash mode, it still won't take a photo. When I turn off the flash, then it does. What could be the problem? Is it in the settings?

The aperture varies according to focal length... at 18mm the lens will go as wide as f3.5, but at 55mm the lens only widens to f5.6

It is telling you you have not set the date/time in the camera.

I find that the Nikon 4300 really burns through the batteries when the camera is set to use red-eye correction. This triggers three or so flashes for each picture. I think I get more than 30 red-eye corrected flash pictures on a set of batteries, but probably no more than 50. Taking outdoor shots w/o flash naturally is kinder on the batteries.
