Have fun!

Do you have a compatible AF-lens? Some of the lenses do not work with some of the AF-bodies.

There are so many cameras out of production now. My thought would be to go to ebay and look up nikon parts in the camea section. Most parts are not that expensive. If the back is not module then go to a camera repair person you at least have the part. I've had to do that twice. Good luck.

The F2 has a door knob on the bottom cover. Flip out the handle and rotate it counter clockwise to open.

A/M knob can be removed by removing circular trimplate on the knob and remove the screw securing the knob. hope this helps. Let me know if you need more infor. james

Set the film speed with the dial on top of the Photomic unit. Lift the chrome ring and turn so that the film speed is next to the little red arrow.
Yes, the aperture is set by the lens ring. And if you have one of the older finders which uses the prong meter connection, whenever you mount a lens you must turn the aperture ring all the way to the highest number, then back to the lowest number. For old-timers, this is known as the "Nikon twist". It tells the meter system what the widest aperture of the lens is so that it can measure light properly at full aperture.
Yes, the shutter speed is set by the dial on top. The Photomic meter sits on top of it, so you read the shutter speed from the scale on the side of the Photomic dial by the mark on the back.
The other buttons on the front are the lens release button (left side as you hold the camera), DOF preview (button just under shutter release), mirror lock-up (lever ring around DOF button) and self-timer (long lever at bottom).
The T-L ring serves to protect the shutter release from accidental push. If you lift the ring and turn the mark to L, the shutter release is Locked. If you lift and turn to T, it prepares the shutter for Time operation, where the shutter remains open when released without holding the button down as you do at the B speed setting.

probably not worthing fixing unless you can not do without it. Fix this kind of problem requires a deep overhaul of the body so it is a matter of cost of manpower. You'd better sell it as is and buy a similar one, these days film cameras are very cheap even for the top models.

igpvigilance,

i would try Ritz camera, or go directly to Nikon

The clue is in your descrition; Old. If the mechanism has jammed, due to age or lack of use that causes tarnisg=hing on the contacts, the motor/mechanism will not load. I would get it serviced at an aurgorised Minolta repair shop. Contact Minolta for a list of authorised repairers.

If your picture frame is not recognizing the 16GB PNY card and displaying a "No Card" message, there could be several reasons for this issue:

1. Compatibility: Some picture frames may have limitations on the size or type of memory card they can accept. Ensure that the picture frame is compatible with SDHC or SDXC cards, as these are the types commonly used for higher-capacity cards like 16GB.
2. File System: Check if the memory card is formatted in a compatible file system such as FAT32 or exFAT. Some picture frames may not recognize cards formatted in other file systems. You may need to format the card using a compatible file system on your computer before using it in the picture frame.
3. Card Reader Slot: Ensure that the memory card is inserted correctly into the card reader slot of the picture frame. Sometimes, improper insertion can prevent the device from detecting the card.
4. Card Compatibility: While SDHC and SDXC cards are generally backward-compatible with devices that support SD cards, some older picture frames may have limited compatibility with higher-capacity SD cards. Try using a lower-capacity SD card (e.g., 2GB or 4GB) to see if the picture frame recognizes it.
5. Faulty Card or Picture Frame: If none of the above solutions work, there may be an issue with either the memory card or the picture frame itself. Try using the memory card in a different device to check if it's functioning correctly. Similarly, try using a different memory card in the picture frame to see if it's able to recognize it. If the problem persists, there may be a hardware issue with either the card or the picture frame, and you may need to contact the manufacturer for assistance or consider replacing the faulty component.

By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to determine the cause of the issue and resolve it accordingly.

We don't have anything available Elizabeth. We are Fixya, and we only supply free information. It would be useful to know the maker as the '1612201' doesn't bring much up and looks like a serial number. Your local camera shop can get them, or you can get online. https://www.google.com/search?q=tripod+feet+replacement //
