Nikon FM10 will only release shutter with cable
Hello Blair,
I too like old school camera, mine are the N2000, N6006, N80, and F100. First without film in the camera I would attempt to release the shutter. If it does then there is something going on with the film transfer causing a bind.
However, If it continues not to release the shutter I would put the FM10 on the shelf then go to KEH.com for another. Just now checked KEH.com, 2014-05-26, a FM10 in EX condition is $89, EX+ condition $99. That would be a much better move than repairing yours and less expensive.
Cordially
The batteries are new, the film is new. I have tried to take pictures on every setting. The flash symbol on the LCD display is flashing, but when I press the shutter release button the flash goes off no problem.
