Pictures are white after taking a shot. But when I'm in indoors it's quite normal.

Way, Way Over exposed Gracey. Read the manual for the mystery Nikon Camera and set the camera to Automatic Exposure. Film 'Speed' is measured in ASA Rating, 200 ASA would be standard for outside, 400 ASA for lower light, up to 1200 ASA for very low light like candle light. The higher the ASA Rating, the more grain you will get in an image. In the old days, we used a light meter set to the actual film speed of the roll of film in the camera and the sensor in the light meter told you what to to set the lens aperture and shutter speed to. Now with digital cameras, it is all automatic, or you can choose to go with manual exposure.FULL 'make model (what it is)' in all questions please first 3 words.GoogleNikon (model) manualRead it it LEAST 3 times and at least once with the camera in your lap.

My Nikon FM has an issue where every-other time I advance the film the shutter mirror flips up and the shutter goes off. I can actually watch the mirror go up as I'm winding if I take the lens off

It sounds like your Nikon FM may be experiencing a mechanical issue with the shutter mechanism. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
  1. Inspect the Film Advance Mechanism: Check the film advance lever and mechanism to ensure they are functioning properly. Make sure there are no obstructions or debris interfering with the movement of the advance lever.
  2. Check the Shutter Release Button: Inspect the shutter release button to see if it's sticking or malfunctioning. Sometimes, a stuck or sticky shutter release button can cause the shutter to fire unintentionally.
  3. Examine the Mirror Mechanism: Carefully inspect the mirror mechanism to see if there are any visible signs of damage or misalignment. If the mirror is flipping up unexpectedly, there may be an issue with the mechanism that controls its movement.
  4. Clean and Lubricate: If the camera hasn't been serviced in a while, it's possible that dirt, dust, or dried lubricant may be causing the issue. Consider cleaning the internal components of the camera and applying a small amount of appropriate lubricant to the moving parts (be cautious and follow proper procedures when lubricating a camera).
  5. Seek Professional Repair: If the issue persists after attempting basic troubleshooting, it's advisable to have the camera inspected and repaired by a qualified camera technician. They can diagnose the problem more accurately and perform any necessary repairs or adjustments to restore the camera to proper working condition.
  6. Use a Different Lens: Sometimes, issues with the lens can affect the camera's operation. Try using a different lens to see if the problem persists. If the issue only occurs with a specific lens, there may be a problem with that particular lens.
It's essential to handle the camera with care during troubleshooting, especially when accessing internal components. If you're unsure about performing any repairs or adjustments yourself, it's best to seek professional assistance to avoid causing further damage to the camera.

I'm using a Nikon D3100 with a kit lens & my 55-200mm lens. And most of the time I encounter a problem every time I press the shutter button due to r07?

  • The "r07" message on a Nikon camera typically indicates the number of available shots in the camera buffer. It's not an error but rather an informational message. The number "r07" means that there are seven shots available in the camera buffer before it fills up. This is a normal part of the camera's operation and doesn't necessarily indicate a problem. It's more noticeable when you're shooting in continuous or burst mode. If you experience issues beyond this, it's advisable to check your camera settings and consult the camera manual. https://caranddriver.com/

I encounter a problem r07 using my Nikon D3100 with 18-55mm kits lens or my 55-200mm lens. How can I fix this? Thank you.

On Nikon cameras this isn't normally an error code. Have you got a memory card in the camera? Check that it isn't nearly full. r07 common comes up as an information prompt referring to the memory space in the camera. '07' being 7 shots remaining. If the card isn't full try this. Turn the camera off. Remove the battery. Remove the memory card. Leave it like that for at least 15 minutes. Connect the memory card to a computer or a laptop and check you can still look at and move the images that are on there. This is to check the memory card isn't corrupted (developed a fault).

How do I fix the err low f4.8 on my Nikon d80

From the sites I've looked at al say this about f.... Most of the time, this F Error message is limited to Nikon DLSR cameras. This particular error message appears when the camera is not able to communicate with the lens. To fix F- error message, clean the contacts on the rear of the lens with the help of microfiber cloth and make sure that the lens is locked into its place. If the problem still persists, then try different lenses to identify whether the problem is in the lens or camera. If you are not able to fix it by yourself, then you can take your camera to the service center. I'm not a camera buff but I thought I'd pass this on. other sites too.... https://duckduckgo.com/?q=err+low+f4.8+on+Nikon+d80&t=ffab&atb=v159-1&ia=web Best to you.

Brand New Nikon Z7ii won't take photos please help!

The fact is won't focus is odd, it should always do that. Issues like this tend to be related to the storage media, and normally falls into two groups.

How to collimate Nikon Venturer II10x23 6.3 degrees compact binoculars?

Here are the steps to collimate your Nikon Venturer II10x23 6.3 degrees compact binoculars:

1. Adjust the diopter: The diopter adjustment is usually located on the right eyepiece, and it helps to adjust the focus of the image for your right eye. Close your left eye and adjust the focus of the right barrel using the diopter adjustment until the image is clear.
2. Look at a distant object: Choose a distant object, such as a building or tree, and focus on it using both barrels. Keep your eyes on the object while you perform the next step.
3. Adjust the barrel alignment screws: The barrel alignment screws are located on the hinge that connects the two barrels. You may need a small screwdriver to adjust them. Use the screws to adjust the alignment of the barrels until the images in both barrels are aligned. If the image on the right barrel is above and to the right of the image in the left barrel, you need to adjust the right barrel downwards and to the left.
4. Test your binoculars: Once you have adjusted the alignment screws, check the alignment of the barrels again by looking at a distant object. If necessary, make further adjustments until the images are aligned.
5. Repeat the process: Over time, the alignment of your binoculars may shift slightly, so it's a good idea to check the alignment periodically and make adjustments as needed.

Film camera turns off when I press the shutter button.

There are a few potential reasons why your camera might be turning off when you press the shutter button:
  1. Battery issues: Even if you just replaced the battery, there could be a problem with the connection or the battery itself. Try cleaning the battery contacts and making sure the battery is properly inserted.
  2. Jammed lens: If the lens is jammed or stuck, it could be causing the camera to shut off as a safety measure. Try gently turning the lens to see if it moves freely or if it's stuck.
  3. Faulty circuitry: If there is an issue with the camera's circuitry, it could be causing it to shut off when you press the shutter button. This would likely require professional repair.
It's also possible that the problem is related to the new roll of film you inserted. Make sure the film is properly loaded and that the camera is advancing the film properly. If you continue to experience problems, it may be best to take the camera to a professional for repair or to consider purchasing a new camera.

Nikon coolpix s210 displays out of memory on screen, cannot take pictures.

Out of memory could mean that your memory card is full and you cannot take any additional pictures until you either replace the card with a new one, or delete or reformat the card you have in it. It could also mean that your card is "locked". Check for the little toggle switch on the side of the card to be sure it is in the "unlocked" position. Or it could mean that you do NOT have a memory card in the camera at all and you're using the very small internal memory your camera comes with (it usually will only hold about 4-5 images. If this is the case, put an external memory card in the camera.

The battery of my nikon coolpix 4300 is not working it is a new battery, but whenever i put it to charge it charges but the camera does not turn on (sorry if the question is confusing)

It sounds like there may be a problem with your Nikon Coolpix 4300 camera that is preventing it from turning on, even when you have a charged battery installed. Here are a few things you could try to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the battery contacts: Make sure the battery contacts on both the battery and inside the camera are clean and free of debris. If there is any dirt or corrosion on the contacts, use a clean, dry cloth to gently clean them.
  2. Try a different power source: If you're charging the battery using a wall outlet, try using a different outlet or a different charger. If you're charging the battery using a USB cable, try using a different cable or a different USB port.
  3. Reset the camera: Sometimes, resetting the camera to its default settings can help resolve software-related issues. Check your camera's user manual for instructions on how to perform a reset.
  4. Contact Nikon customer support: If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be a problem with the camera itself. Contact Nikon customer support or take the camera to a professional repair service for further assistance.
I hope this helps!
