The Nikon F50 is an old style camera that requires film. If you are still able to find film for this camera, pictures may still be developed. However, this is an electronic device that is prone to malfunctioning or not working properly. Problems that occur with the camera will appear as an "Err" message or an icon that is blinking on the LCD screen. These are able to be corrected by making adjustments on the camera.
Instructions
1. Turn the power off by pressing the "Power" button when you see the "Err" message and a low battery indicator blinking on the LCD screen. Open the battery cover and replace the old battery with a new one. Turn the camera on and the message should no longer appear.
2. Open the film cover on the back of the camera and reposition the film when you see an "Err" message and a film icon blinking on the LCD screen. Remove the film from the camera and reload it. Close the film cover and the error should no longer appear.
3. Adjust the lens to the smallest available aperture setting when you see an "Err" message and the aperture icon blinking on the LCD screen. This error is indicating the aperture is not correctly set to the smallest setting.
4. Press the "Power" button on the camera to turn it off when an "Err" message is displayed on the LCD screen, when the film is advancing or rewinding. This error indicates a malfunction. Press the "Power" button to turn the camera back on and clear the error.
5. Verify that the lens is properly attached to the camera when you see a lens icon blinking on the LCD screen. This indicates that the camera does not detect the lens. Take the lens off and then re-attach it to the camera to correct the problem.
